Early life and education

Muthu is from Udankudi in Tuticorin district, Tamil Nadu.[2][3] He left school early.[1]

Career

Muthu worked in his father's jewellery shop for ten years, and later opened his own. After that failed, he became a carpenter, but the COVID-19 pandemic hurt his business.[1] He started posting TikTok videos, eventually 10 to 15 a day, and reached approximately a million followers.[3] His videos were popular for his southern dialect;[2] he was known for comic and dance videos as well as for videos scolding those who trolled him,[4] and was in conflict on the platform with actress Meera Mitun.[5]

When TikTok was banned in India in mid-2020, Muthu told reporters that it was a big blow to him,[3] and reportedly attempted suicide.[2][4] He moved to posting videos on Instagram[4] and YouTube;[1] he has also appeared in YouTube videos posted by others.[6]

Starting in 2021, Muthu has had parts in some Tamil films[2][7] and in the music video for "Enna Vazhka Da".[8] He is a contestant in Season 6 of the Tamil version of Bigg Boss,[1][9][10] and was chosen the first house captain.[11][12]
