	Actors - Vadivelu

Vadivelu (sometimes Vadivel) is a leading comedian in the Tamil movie industry. Post-2000, he has dominated the movie scene in Kollywood, along with Vivek (another comedian).

Born in the southern city of Madurai, Vadivelu is nicknamed Vaigai puyal (the Vaigai storm, after the river Vaigai, which flows through the city). Starting as a sidekick to the famed Goundamani-Senthil comedy duo, he rose to prominence after his role in Kadhalan
. His accent which resembles the Tamil spoken in southern Tamil Nadu landed him roles in Tamil movies with a village background.

In most movies, he plays a simpleton with good intentions but lands in trouble because of the circumstances or the eccentricities of the people he comes across. Recently, he has transitioned his comedy to suit urban audiences too.

His performances in Bharathi Kannamma, Vetri Kodikattu and Winner have brought him laurels and accolades from all quarters. He does sing for some songs in his movies.
