Kottachi is an Indian actor who works in Tamil-language films.[2][3] He made his directorial debut with Kazhu Maram (2024).[4]
Career
Kottachi and his mother were present at the sets of Seeman (1994) and he came to Chennai in search of the photo taken at that time and instead fulfilled his mother's wish of acting.[5] He was introduced by director Ezhil in Pennin Manathai Thottu (2000).[5] In a review of Kicha Vayasu 16 (2005), a critic wrote that "Kottachi and the gang are the film's only relieving aspect".[6] He played a full length comedy role in Chandhamama (2013) and one of the lead roles in Kadavulukku Nandri (2016).[5]
He directed the short films Varanda Vizhigal (2020), which featured a voice over by M. S. Bhaskar and Vizhuthu (2021) co-starring his daughter. Both short films were released directly through his YouTube channel Maan Valai.[7][8] In 2024, he directed the feature film Kazhu Maram, which also featured him in the lead role.[4] Regarding his performance in the film, a critic wrote that "Kottachi, who plays the hero in the film, carries the whole story. He is scoring in acting as much as he can. But in many places, his performance is artificial".[1] Another critic wrote that "Kottachi who is playing the hero in the film has given his full acting skills".[4]
