Ramji is an Indian film choreographer tuned actor, known for his works predominantly in Tamil cinema, and television.
Career
The actor-choreographer often appeared in Tamil film dance numbers like "Vellarika" from Kadhal Kottai. "Easwara" from Kannedhirey Thondrinal and "Nee Park-ukum Ponnalum" from Paarvai Ondre Podhume being prime examples of his roles. In 2001, Ramji toured Japan as a part of the Tamil musical "Thilana", playing the lead role in a venture developed by Bharathan and scripted by Anita Raj and Kalyan.
As offers to feature in films began to recede, Ramji became a television compere for shows including "Dance Machi Dance", before accepting to play a role in the low-budget film, Madhavi (2009).[1] He appeared in a series of HIV awareness adverts shown on South Indian television in 2010 as a character called "Dhillu Durai". The ad was directed by duo JD-Jerry and featured three teasers promoting AIDs awareness centres called Nambikkai Mayyam (ICTC).[2][3] Later in the year, he played a supporting role in Rama Narayanan's Kutti Pisasu alongside Sangeetha and Ramya Krishnan.
