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 “Prem G” with the “G” representing his father’s name.

  • He is widely recognized for his famous catchphrase “Enna Koduma Sir Idhu?” (What kind of atrocity is this, sir?) and “Evvalavo pannitom, itha panna mattoma” (We’ve done so much, won’t we do this also?). “Enna Koduma Sir Idhu?” 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 “Wanted,” 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 Raja’s 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 “Loosu Penne” from the film Vallavan.
