Ramesh Ramilla, better known as Thagubothu Ramesh, is an Indian film actor and comedian who primarily works with Telugu cinema.[1] He got the moniker "Tagubothu" as he portrayed several roles as a drunkard. He rose to prominence with films such as Mahatma, Ala Modalaindi, Pilla Zamindar and Ishq.

Childhood and early years

Ramesh was born in Godavarikhani located in Karimnagar district, Telangana.[1] His father was an employee at Singareni Collieries Company and his mother was a housewife. Ramesh says that he was able to sink into the drunkard character because, as a child he would watch his father get drunk and hit his mother. He would pacify his mother, and make her laugh by impersonating his drunk father.[2] Ramesh eventually became good at mimicry and used to perform shows in his town. He also reveals that he is inspired by Bengali comedian Keshto Mukherjee, who like him was also famous for portraying drunkard characters.[1] Before venturing into films, Ramesh has worked as a building supervisor for 10 years. After his parents' death and sister's marriage, he decided to pursue acting as a career.[1] In 2005, he joined the Akkineni Film Institute in Hyderabad.[3]

Career

In 2006, after passing out from Akkineni Film Institute, Ramesh got an opportunity to play a small role in Sukumar’s Jagadam.[1] This was his first feature film. After Jagadam, Ramesh found several opportunities and acted in around 10 Telugu films. During this time, Ramesh got acquainted with popular Telugu actor Uttej. Uttej introduced Ramesh to top Telugu film director Krishna Vamsi. Vamsi cast him for the role of a drunkard in Mahatma.[1] The film remains as a major turning point in his career. His portrayal of drunkard character in Mahatma led to a opportunity to play a similar drunkard character in Ala Modalaindi directed by Nandini Reddy. His portrayal of Gowtham, a drunkard software engineer in the film became very popular among the moviegoers. Since that film, he was more commonly referred to as "Thagubothu Ramesh" (drunkard Ramesh).[1]
