About Palani bharathi

Palani bharathi was an Indian actor, lyricist, songwriter and poet.

Palani Bharathi or Pazhani Bharathi ( or ) is an Indian writer and lyricist who works in Tamil cinema.

Early life Palani Bharathi was born in Karaikudi to Sami Palaniyappan, a poet, and Kamala. He has a brother and four sisters. Palaniyappan was an assistant of orator/writer Kundrakudi Adigal and follower of poet Bharathidasan.

Career Bharathi began his career by editing articles, mainly correcting factual errors, in publications including Neerottam and Porval. He later got a job in the Tamil Nadu Textbook Corporation, of checking and recording the account of volumes of books transported in vehicles from the book warehouse, with his salary being per day. Bharathi was not very interested in that job, which did not last for more than a month. Bharathi later wrote some songs for Annai Vayal (1992); though the film was unsuccessful, the songs were well received and he received more offers. He achieved significant success writing all the songs for Ullathai Allitha (1996), and the 1995–1997 period is considered his "golden years", during which he wrote for over 100 films.

Personal life Bharathi is married to Kalaivani, and they have a child.

Controversies Bharathi wrote slanderous articles about Malathy Maitri, a founder of the feminist literary movement Anangu, and was eventually forced to write a public apology.
