His most notable movies include Suvarilladha Chiththirangal, Oru Kai Osai, Andha 7 Naatkal, Mouna Geethangal, Indru Poi Naalai Vaa, and Enga Ooru Pattukaran.
Early life Kallapetti Singaram owned a successful drama troupe and staged many plays. When Bhagyaraj became acquainted with Singaram he was impressed by his expressive features, acting style, and body language. Later, when Bhagyaraj became a successful director himself, he gave Singaram several opportunities to appear in his films.
Film career Bhagyaraj first introduced Singaram in Suvarilladha Chiththirangal. At this point, Singaram had already had a minor role in Motor Sundaram Pillai, a movie released in 1966. Even though Singaram only played minor roles in many of Bhagyaraj's films, Bhagyaraj was the only director to give him any significant movie parts.
