Karuppaih Palaniappan is an Indian film director, actor, and television host who works in the Tamil film industry.[2] He has also hosted the show Thamizha Thamizha on Zee Tamil.
Biography
[edit]Palaniappan hails from Karaikudi. His parents are Chinna Karuppaiya and Thirumathi Naagammai, and Palaniappan is the eldest among their three children.
Books appealed to Palaniappan right from childhood. His father Chinna Karuppiah, a trader, is an ardent reader. He showed interest in reading classics of popular writers like Kannadasan, Jayakanthan, and Ashokamitran. Following the saying ‘Like father like son’, Palaniappan inherited this ‘love of reading’ from his father right from childhood.
Palaniappan's passion for reading books spread its wings to learning languages, writing, acting and elocution. His innate style of starting midway through a debate and expressing his thoughts with eloquence, charismatically grabbing the attention of the audience and keeping them spellbound, winning their applause and admiration presented him with countless trophies, certificates and accolades.
After his schooling in Madurai Seventh Day Adventist, Palaniappan studied English Literature in the renowned American College, Madurai (undergrad) and mastered in Literature in Madurai Thiyagaraja College. His intense pursuit of Tamil literature secured him the covetable student training course in Vikatan Group of Magazines.
Palaniappan sustained reading and movie-watching with zest and zeal created an affiliation to cinema within himself, thus inspiring his first toddler steps into Kollywood in 1994. Though he is acclaimed as director Parthiban's protégé, Palaniappan worked under two other directors. With Parthiban, he worked in Pullakuttikaran and Housefull. His grey cells contributed to director Dharani's stories that did not get transformed into films in the sandwiched time frame between the latter's films Edhirum Pudhirum and Dhill. He worked under director Ezhil in Thulladha Manamum Thullum, Pennin Manathai Thottu, and Poovellam Un Vasam.

His 2008 film Pirivom Santhippom, received positive reviews.[5] His fourth directorial film, Mandhira Punnagai, saw him making his debut as a hero.[6] His second film with Srikanth called Sadhurangam, was finished in 2006 and remained unreleased for a long time. At last, the film released in 2011.[7] Srikanth's character in the film was named after Thirupathisamy, a film director and Palaniappan's close friend who died in 2001. Palaniappan later directed the 2013 film Jannal Oram, a remake of the Malayalam film Ordinary.[8]
