Omakuchi Narasimhan
Indian comedian
Narasimhan (c. 1936 - 12 March 2009), popularly known as Omakuchi, was an Indian stage and film actor. He acted in over 1,500 films in 14 Indian languages, predominantly in Tamil. He was credited as Juttu Narasimham in Telugu cinema.
Early life and career
Narasimhan was born in 1936 in Kumbakonam, a city in present-day Tamil Nadu. He made his debut in the 1953 movie Avvaiyar. On completion of his graduation, Narasimhan worked for the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) for some time before re-entering the Tamil movie industry with Gowri Kalyanam (1966).
However, following his debut, Narasimhan did not act in any immediate film in order to concentrate on studies. When he was acting in Thilairajan’s play, Naradarum Nangu Thirudargalum, he got the nickname "Omakuchi" from the character he played in the drama. After one of his performances on stage, actor Suruli Rajan brought him back to films.
