'''Singamuthu''' (born 8 December 1958) is an Indian actor who has appeared in [[Tamil language]] films as a comedian.

==Career==
Singamuthu has primarily appeared in comedy roles in films as a supporting actor debuting in ''[[Neram Nalla Irukku]]'' (1987). He started developing his career in the acting sector by doing small comedy roles in cinemas. He often shared screen space with popular comedian [[Vadivelu]], and the duo has given many hilarious comedy scenes to Tamil movies.

==Controversy==
In 2010, [[Vadivelu]] held a press conference, accusing Singamuthu for forgery and financial cheating. Vadivelu, who was previously friends with Singamuthu, purchased land from him, but later came to learn that the documents were void. This resulted in the former taking legal action on the latter.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/54078.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100206043402/http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/tamil/article/54078.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=6 February 2010 |title=Vadivelu roars against Singamuthu |website=IndiaGlitz.com |date=3 February 2010 |access-date=15 May 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Settu Shankar |url=http://entertainment.oneindia.in/tamil/exclusive/2010/vadivelu-singamuthu-again-120410.html |title=Its Vadivelu Vs Singamuthu again! |work=Oneindia |date=12 April 2010 |access-date=15 May 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708082321/http://entertainment.oneindia.in/tamil/exclusive/2010/vadivelu-singamuthu-again-120410.html |archive-date=8 July 2012 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/people-come-up-against-me-to-get-instant-fame-vadivelu-news-tamil-kkfqFlcejgasi.html |title=People come up against me to get instant fame: Vadivelu |website=[[Sify]] |access-date=9 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160203234622/http://www.sify.com/movies/people-come-up-against-me-to-get-instant-fame-vadivelu-news-tamil-kkfqFlcejgasi.html |archive-date=3 February 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url = http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/chennai/complaint-filed-against-singamuthu/article113015.ece| title = Complaint filed against Singamuthu - The Hindu| website = [[The Hindu]]| date = 24 February 2010}}</ref> Later in May 2010, Singamuthu was arrested after assaulting Vadivelu's assistant Shankar, but was later released after three days in jail.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-news-1/may-10-03/singamuthu-vadivelu-17-05-10.html |title=Singamuthu - Tamil Movie News - Singamuthu arrested! - Singamuthu | Vadivelu | Puzhal prison |publisher=Behindwoods.com |date=2010-05-17 |accessdate=2022-08-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshowpics/5940224.cms |title=Tamil comedy actor Singamuthu arrested {{!}} Page 683 {{!}} The Times of India |website=timesofindia.indiatimes.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160421220808/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshowpics/5940224.cms |archive-date=2016-04-21}}</ref> It was eventually proved that the pair were actually cheated by the salesman, who had sold the land to Singamuthu illegally.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/Vadivelu-Singamuthu-cheated-in-land-deal/articleshow/9642085.cms|title = Vadivelu, Singamuthu cheated in land deal |website = [[The Times of India]]|date = 18 August 2011 }}</ref>
