Some Lesser Known Facts About Premgi Amaren
Premgi Amaren creates rap songs for Tamil films and is recognized for his humorous roles in the movies directed by his older brother, Venkat Prabhu.
His stage name, Premgi, is a spelling mistake. Originally, it was supposed to be âPrem Gâ with the âGâ representing his fatherâs name.
He is widely recognized for his famous catchphrase âEnna Koduma Sir Idhu?â (What kind of atrocity is this, sir?) and âEvvalavo pannitom, itha panna mattomaâ (Weâve done so much, wonât we do this also?). âEnna Koduma Sir Idhu?â is a modified version of a well-known dialogue delivered by Prabhu in the movie Chandramukhi (2005).
In 1997, Premgi made his directorial debut in the film industry with a project named âWanted,â featuring Venkat Prabhu and S. P. B. Charan. Despite having Yuvan Shankar Raja as the music composer and Gangai Amaren and S. P. Balasubrahmanyam as comedians, the film was not completed.
When he started his career, he was focused on music composition. He began working as an assistant to film music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja, later venturing into playback singing. His singing roles primarily involved handling rap portions in Yuvan Shankar Rajaâs compositions, and he expanded to collaborate with other music composers. While working with Yuvan Shankar Raja, he also undertook remixing tasks for some of the soundtrack albums, starting with the song âLoosu Penneâ from the film Vallavan.
He has composed other songs for films including Adhe Neram Adhe Idam (2009), Ennamo Nadakkudhu (2014), Zombie (2019), Kutty Story (2021), and Manmadha Leelai (2022).

The film became the most significant summer blockbuster of the year, making Premgi a comedy actor.
He teamed up with his brother again for their next project, Saroja, earning praise for his role as Ganesh Kumar.
He took on a lead role in Venkat Prabhuâs Goa (2010) and continued to feature in Mankatha (2011) and Settai (2013).
