Senthil is a politician and Tamil film actor prominent in comedian roles in Tamil Nadu, India.

Acting career

He has acted in many popular movies, including some with South Indian superstar Rajnikanth--Arunachalam and Padayappa being two among them. He usually appears in films with Goundamani in a slapstick double act. Together they have formed a comic pair in many Tamil films, analogous to Laurel and Hardy. Towards the end of their careers, they became repetitive, and as a result lost favour with fans. Recently, Senthil has started acting in some Tamil teleserials.

He and Goundamani have an impeccable sense of timing when it comes to delivering dialogues. Other than Goundamani, Senthil has also acted with comedians Ramesh Khanna, Vadivelu, Karunas, and Vivek. One of their best performances on-screen has come in the film "Karagatakkaran". Currently Senthil is acting in a film titled "Aathivaasiyum Athisayapesiyum" as the lead character which is currently under production.

Politics

Senthil entered into politics by joining AIADMK - a regional political party of Tamil Nadu - in 2006 during Tamil Nadu State Assembly Elections as the party jester.

He was born on 23 March 1951 in a small village called Ilanjambore near Mudukulathur in Ramanathapuram District. His parents were Ramamoorthi and Thirukammal. He ran away from his village at the age 12 due to his father's scolding .He first joined an oil mart, then a private wine shop as bar attender and then landed up in drama where he started developing his skills .He slowly entered the Tamil film industry in small characters and finally landed a good role in the movie Malayoor Mambattiyan.
