==Film career==
PKT was part of the drama troupe floated by veteran Sankaradoss Swamigal more than fifty years ago. Like many actors of his era, he had made the grade to films as an actor after toiling hard on stage where he used to be quite popular for his acting as well as in singing many folk songs.

His film career has spanned many decades in which he had starred in more than 200 films including a memorable role in [[Bharathiraaja]]'s [[Mann Vasanai]] and in [[Gangai Amaren]]'s Karagattakkaran which had memorable songs by Ilaiyaraaja. PKT has also sung a festival song in [[Kamal Haasan]]'s Virumandi a few years back.

He has four sons.<ref name="death"/> One of his sons Virumandi, a director made his directorial debut with ''[[Ka Pae Ranasingam]]'' (2020).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.sify.com/movies/ka-pae-ranasingam-to-be-shot-in-ramanathapuram-hyderabad-and-dubai-news-tamil-tgmkUCecadjei.html|title = 'Ka Pae Ranasingam' to be shot in Ramanathapuram, Hyderabad, and Dubai!}}</ref>
