Biography

Periya Karuppa Thevar was a Tamil film character artiste and folk singer who appeared in Tamil-language films. He was referred as PKT by his friends in the film industry.

Film career

PKT was part of the drama troupe floated by veteran Sankaradoss Swamigal more than fifty years ago. Like many actors of his era, he had made the grade to films as an actor after toiling hard on stage where he used to be quite popular for his acting as well as in singing many folk songs.

His film career has spanned many decades in which he had starred in more than 200 films including a memorable role in Bharathiraaja's Mann Vasanai and in Gangai Amaren's Karagattakkaran which had memorable songs by Ilaiyaraaja. PKT has also sung a festival song in Kamal Haasan's Virumandi a few years back.

He has four sons.
