Starting as a sidekick to the famed Goundamani-Senthil comedy duo, he rose to prominence after his role in Kadhalan. His Madurai Tamil accent (Tamil spoken in Madurai, a district in Tamil Nadu) is born to a father who was extremely poor and worked in a glass factory in Madurai. This forced Vadivelu to seek help from actor Rajkiran who was also from the same place as him. Actor Rajkiran taking pity on him brought him to Chennai, and made him an office boy in his studio. This soon caught the attention of one of the versatile actors of Indian Cinema Kamal Hassan, who was fascinated by the antics of this man and offered roles to him in his future movies like Devar Magan and Singaravelan. In most movies, Vadivelu plays a simpleton with good intentions but lands in trouble because of circumstances or eccentricities of the people he comes across. These roles involve heavy use of slapstick and puns, which has led him to being typecast. His comedy sequences typically end with him getting soundly thrashed and a closing one-liner from him bemoaning his situation or antagonists. He starred in the lead role of the historical comedy spoof Imsai Arasan 23am Pulikesi. The movie features Vadivelu in a dual role, playing twin brothers. His next venture as lead star was in the movie Indiralohathil Na Azhagappan. Apart from acting, Vadivelu is also a singer who has also lent his voice to songs in his movies. He often renders traditional Tamil village singing and dappan koothu. Some of his popular songs are "Ettana Irundha", "Orendu Onne" "Kundakka Mandakka", "Oonam Oonam" (a song that inspires the physically challenged) and the hilarious "Alwa Kudukuran." Controversies On 21 September 2008, Vadivelu's residence, located in the Saligramam neighbourhood in Chennai, was pelted with stones by a gang, leaving several windows and furniture smashed and damaged. The actor had taken refuge in a room in his home and was safe. Vadivelu is said to have suspected Vijayakanth because of a recent controversy that broke out between the two. Vadivelu had previously filed a case against Vijayakanth for assault and the final court hearing will occur on Monday, 22 September 2008. The attack may have occurred in order to prevent Vadivelu from attending the court hearing.[1] Vadivelu has filed another case on Vijayakanth for attempt of murder and investigations are taking place. Vadivelu has also mentioned his keen interest on competing against Vijayakanth in the next assembly elections and "teaching him a lesson." In response, actor Vijayakanth told a press meet on September 22 that Vadivelu's allegations are just based on the influence of people.[2] Songs sung by vadivelu No Songs Films Year 1 Ettanaa irundaa Ellaame En Raasaathaan 1991 2 Thaaney naaney Sakthi 1996 3 Santhanamalligaiyil Rajakaali Amman 2001 4 Freeyaavudu Aaru 2005 5 Sirippu varuthu sirippu varuthu chithappa Vetri Kodi Kattu 2000 6 Orunnu Onnu Aei 2004 7 oonam oonam porkaalam 1997 8 Vandhuta vandhuta vandhutaya Kundakka Mandakka 2005 9 Kadhal Panna Kovil 2004 10 Ammanikki Adangi Raajavin Paarvayile 1995 11 Poda Poda Punnakku En Raasavin Manasile 1991 12 Ponnumani Ponnumani POraale Poonthottam 1998 13 Vaadi Potta Pulla Veliye Kaalam Maari Pochu 1996 14 Paalu Paalu Nepaalu Thaaikulame Thaaikulame 1995 15 Aayiram jannal vidu Vel 2007 16 Vaada Mappiley Villu 2008 Recent filmography Main article: Vadivelu filmography Year Film Role Notes 2006 Thalainagaram Naai Sekar 2007 Marudhamalai Aettu Aegambaram 2008 Kannum Kannum Seval Thapaal Thangavelu Ellam Avan Seyal Vandu Murugan Kuselan Saloon Shanmugam Muniyandi Vilangial Moonramandu Maniyaatti Saamiyaar Sorimuthu Ayyanaar Kathavarayan Kanduvetti Karuppu Indiralohathil Na Azhagappan Azhagappan/Indran/Yama Dharmarajan second film as hero 2009 Villu Maadasaamy Vedigundu Murugesan Alert Arumugam Azhagar Malai Kaathamuthu Kanthaswamy Thengaakadai Thennappan Peranmai Soosai Aadhavan Banerjee alias banner kuppan Jaganmohini 2010 Kacheri Arambam Deepavali Sura Umbarlla Thillalangadi Jackie Nagaram Style Paandi Kulasekaranum Koolipadaiyum Filming Malaiyoor Mambattiyaan Filming Ponnar Shankar Filming Kaavalan Filming Ilaignan Filming Ulagam filming ) Telugu voice He is usually covered by Brahmanandam for voice in Telugu versions of movies.
