Rare card · No. 65242

Subramaniyan Karuppaiya (born 25 May 1939), known by his stage name Goundamani, is an Indian actor and comedian who works in Tamil cinema. He is known for his comic duo partnership in Tamil films with fellow actor Senthil. The pair dominated the Tamil industry as comedians in the 1980s and 1990s. Popularly known as "Counter Mani" because he specialised in giving counterarguments, he was called Goundamani as a misconception by actor/director K. Bhagyaraj and the pseudonym stuck. He has the ability to give counterarguments on the spot and off the script on stage and during shooting. He was at his peak of his career as a comedian in Tamil cinema for nearly 40 years. Despite his popularity, Goundamani is known for being a social recluse.
