Ganesan Pechi Muthu (born 29 March 1985),[1][circular reference] known as GP Muthu, is an Indian YouTuber and former TikTokker from Tamil Nadu. He has appeared in films and was a contestant in Season 6 of Bigg Boss Tamil.
Early life and education[edit]
Muthu is from Udankudi in Tuticorin district, Tamil Nadu.[2][3] He left school early.[1]
Career[edit]
Muthu worked in his father's jewellery shop for ten years, and later opened his own. After that failed, he became a carpenter, but the COVID-19 pandemic hurt his business.[1] He started posting TikTok videos, eventually 10 to 15 a day, and reached approximately a million followers.[3] His videos were popular for his southern dialect;[2] he was known for comic and dance videos as well as for videos scolding those who trolled him,[4] and was in conflict on the platform with actress Meera Mitun.[5]
When TikTok was banned in India in mid-2020, Muthu told reporters that it was a big blow to him,[3] and reportedly attempted suicide.[2][4] He moved to posting videos on Instagram[4] and YouTube;[1] he has also appeared in YouTube videos posted by others.[6]
Starting in 2021, Muthu has had parts in some Tamil films[2][7] and in the music video for "Enna Vazhka Da".[8] He appears in the upcoming film Rajakili, co-starring and written by Thambi Ramaiah and directed by Umapathy Ramaiah, his son.[9]
In 2022, he was a contestant in Season 6 of the Tamil version of Bigg Boss,[1][10][11] and was chosen the first house captain;[12][13] despite audience support, he left the show voluntarily on 22 October to return to his family.[14][15]
