Venniradai Moorthy (born 1936)[2] is an Indian actor and comedian. He has starred in many Tamil films and television serials as a comedian and also played supporting roles.[3] He is a lawyer by education, and holds a B.L. degree in addition to a PhD in astrology.[4] He is married to actress Manimala who played Suhasini's mother in Sindhu Bhairavi and the heroine in Vallavanukku Vallavan (1965). He is also a well known script-writer. Kamal Haasan's first full-fledged film as hero Maalai Sooda Vaa, had Murthy as a script writer.[5]

He is especially remembered for his Sunday TV Show 'Meendum Meendum Sirippu', which aired on Sun TV for 11 years.[6] The show had a comical take on common household themes involving slapstick and wordplay, usually ending with a social message. Moorthy wrote much of the material himself, in addition to starring on the show.
