Subramaniyan Karuppaiya (born 25 May 1939), known by his stage name Goundamani, is an Indian film actor and comedian. He is known for his comic duo partnership in Tamil films with fellow actor Senthil. Eventually he was called as Goundamani for his ability to give counter dialogues on the spot and off the script (as a warning to his co artiste to be prepared) on stage and during shooting as per Bhagyaraj who was writing scripts and title credits for Bharathiraja in his early days during the movie 16 Vayathinile. So far, he has acted over 310 films.

Early life and career

Kavundamani was born as Subramaniyan in Vallakundapuram, a village near Udumalaipettai Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. His father is Karuppaiya and mother Annammal. He is married to Shanthi and has 2 children.^[1]^[2]

He entered into the Tamil film industry due to his strong theatrical background. He is popular for giving counter to fellow actors during stage performances, which garnered him the name "Counter Mani". This in Tamil polyglot became the stage name "Kavundamani". Kavundamani has played lead roles in a few films during his career, but is predominantly a supporting actor playing comedy roles. While performing roles of a solo comedian in films, he often co-starred with Senthil to form a comedy duo. The pair was described as "Tamil cinema's Laurel and Hardy" and have performed slapstick humour in several Tamil films from the mid-1980s until the early 2000s. After recuperating from diabetes and respiratory illnesses during the late 2000s, he featured in Vaaimai and also played the lead role in 49-O, which began productions in 2013. It was directed by debutant Arokiadoss, a former assistant of Gautham Vasudev Menon.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]
