Kumaravadivel Natarajan, professionally known as Vadivelu, is a prolific actor and renowned comedian who has acted in many Tamil films. He is a recipient of many several awards, including two Filmfare Award South and six Tamil Nadu State Film Awards. Recently, at the Madras High Court, comedian Singamuthu stated that he was responsible for the success of Vadivelu.
Actor Vadivelu filed a defamation case against Singamuthu and sought Rs 5 crore for damages and a restraining order to prevent the alleged accused from passing any defamatory remarks. In a counter-petition submitted by Singamuthu before Justice RMT Teekaa Raman on Friday, in response to the defamation suit filed against him, he claimed that Vadivelu was trying to exact revenge because Singamuthu had written scripts for other actors. He also claimed that he has not used any words or made remarks to cause mental distress to Vadivelu.
Singamuthu mentioned that he has also apologised for the legal notice which was sent by Vadivelu’s lawyer regarding the issue. Further, he emphasised that he was the reason for Vadivelu’s success which earned him immense fame and money. He said, “We acted together in many Tamil films. I am a writer and orator and wrote comedy tracks for many actors including Vadivelu. I was behind his success in the industry.” The hearing has been postponed to October 24.
On the work front, Vadivelu marked his debut in the acting industry in 1988 with T. Rajendar’s En Thangai Kalyani at the career peak of the Goundamani-Senthil duo. He gained fame and recognition with his works which led to the coinage of his nickname Vaigai Puyal. He has belted out hits like Kaalam Maari Pochu, Vetri Kodi Kattu, Thavasi, Chandramukhi, Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikecei, Pokkiri, Marudhamalai and Kathavarayan.
On the other hand, actor Singamuthu has majorly appeared in comedy roles in films as a supporting actor. He marked his debut with the film Neram Nalla Irukku in 1987. He established himself as a great actor with perfect comic timing. He has often shared screen space with popular comedian Vadivelu, and together, the duo has given many hilarious scenes to Tamil movies which are still memorable for the audience. Together, they have starred in films like Vel, Bagavathi, Aaru, Kuselan, Thimiru and Aayudham to name a few.
