'''P. S. Veerappa''' (10 September 1911{{spaced ndash}}11 September 1998) was an Indian actor and a producer of [[Tamil cinema]].

==Early life==
Born in 1911, Veerappa belonged to [[Kangeyam]], then part of [[Coimbatore District]] in [[Madras Presidency]]. But he grew up in his grandfather’s house in [[Pollachi]] right from an early age. He was interested in studies but there were no income sources due to large members in family. He tried many small trading business which never gave him good returns. Before moving to [[Madras]] he used to act in plays which was conducted in temple festival in nearby temple town [[Sivanmalai]] where he saw [[K. B. Sundarambal]] and her brother. They insisted him to join cinema and told him to come to [[Madras]]. So he moved to Madras with the aim of joining cinema; he expressed his desire to her and Sundarambal sent him to [[Ellis R. Dungan]] with a recommendation letter.<ref name=KALYAN/>

==Career==
Duncan was directing the film ''Manimekalai'' at that time in which Sundarambal had an important role. And, Veerappa was introduced to cinema through that film in 1939. His next films were ''Udayanan Vasavadatta'', in which [[G. N. Balasubramaniam]] and [[Vasundhara Devi]] were the lead pair and Jupiter Pictures’ ''[[Sri Murugan]]'' with [[Honnappa Bhagavathar|C. Honnappa Bhagavathar]] as the hero. [[M. G. Ramachandran]] was also in the cast and Veerappa and became friends with him after this film. Their duo acted in many films together as hero and villain. Veerappa’s popular laughter "ha ..ha ..haa .." was first tried in the film ''[[Chakravarthi Thirumagal]]'' in which MGR was the hero. As it had tremendous response, it was continued by Veerappa in all his subsequent films and it became his trademark. In the film ''[[Vanjikottai Valiban]]'', there is a dance sequence in which [[Vyjayanthimala]] and [[Padmini (actress)|Padmini]] are both dancing, challenging each other in the song ''[[Kannum Kannum Kalanthu]]''. In this scene, Veerappa shouts, "Sabhaash … sariyana potti …", welcoming the challenge. And, in another film ''[[Mahadhevi]]'', Veerappa, the villain, would chase the heroine [[Savitri (actress)|K. Savithri]] with so much lust. In the scene in which he realizes that he could never get Savithri, he would say, "Manadhaal Mahadevi, illaiyel maranadevi …". This dialogue gets consistent claps from the audience even today.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} He was associated with six Chief Ministers ([[C. N. Annadurai]], [[M. Karunanidhi]], [[M. G. Ramachandran]], [[N. T. Rama Rao]], [[V. N. Janaki]] & [[J. Jayalalitha]]) as an actor and producer.<ref name=KALYAN>http://www.kalyanamalaimagazine.com/Content/Thiraichuvai/Oct10_1_15/Potpourri_of_titbits_about_Tamil_cinema_PS_Veerappa.html</ref>

[[Sivaji Ganesan]] was a great admirer and fan of Veerappa’s acting and his ‘famous’ laughter. Sivaji had openly expressed this admiration on many occasions. Veerappa had acted as the villain with four generation heroes, starting from MGR and Sivaji to heroes like [[Kamal Haasan]], [[Rajinikanth]] and [[Vijayakanth]]. A molded villain in movies, Veerappa was a great human being in real life. He became a producer also and produced many films. Veerappa, died in September 1998. He had a daughter and a son. His son P. S. V. Hariharan is a film producer, and has a daughter and a son.<ref name=KALYAN/>
