Career overview

Suraj Venjaramoodu began his career as a stand-up comedian and impressionist, with his mimicry shows finding success with audiences. He first acted in the film Jagapoga, a spoof of Malayalam movies, where he played the roles of Pachan and Dadasahib. He is generally regarded for his artificial mockery of the Thiruvananthapuram accent, for which he is largely criticised. Over the years, he has acted in more than 100 films and played lead characters in Duplicate and Thaskara Lahala. He is known for acting in films such as Arabikatha, Ivar Vivahitharayal, Annan Thambi, Veruthe Oru Bharya, LollyPop, Gulumal: The Escape, Sakudumbam Shyamala, Adaminte Makan Abu, and Perariyathavar. In 2014, he received the National Film Award for Best Actor at the 61st National Film Awards for his performance in Perariyathavar, directed by Dr. Biju. The film's story revolved around a father and son working as municipality workers and the harsh life they face. Jury chairman Saeed Mirza said, "Suraj has played a municipal sweeper [in the film] but it is an incredibly dignified performance. He excels in comedy but in this film Suraj has brilliantly played a reticent character." He is a three-time recipient of the Kerala State Film Award for Best Comedy Artist. In the 2016 film Pulimurugan, he played Poongayi Sasi, and in Kammatti Paadam (2016) he appeared as Sumesh. He played Prasad in Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum (2017) and Jayanthan Nair in Tiyaan (2017). In 2019, he was seen as Kuruvila in Driving Licence, Idivettu Sugunan in Madura Raja, and Issac in Mikhael. He played the husband in The Great Indian Kitchen (2021) and Adv. Venu OV in Mukundan Unni Associates™ (2022). His upcoming films include L2: Empuraan (2025) as Sajanachandran and Jailer 2 (2026) as Dileep.
