Perspective
Mime Gopi already acted in Saravanan Meenatchi season 1 along with Mirchi Saravanan as money launderer. Prior to his entrance into the film industry, Gopi is a renowned mime actor in Chennai and heading G Mime Studio, a studio which exhibited the art form. In his role, he worked closely with children with special needs to help them adapt miming skills. The actor celebrates every birthday and festivals by doing charity work across Tamil Nadu. He also had contributed money to the local festivals of the religious organisations. He is an inspiration to the upcoming theatre actors.[4] He had set up the studio in 1994 and had worked to expand the art across Chennai.[5]
Mime Gopi shot to fame with director Pa. Ranjith's Madras (2014) and he gave notable performances in Maari (2015), Maya (2015) and Kabali (2016).[6] He has been working in Bairavaa (2017) with Vijay.[7] Gopi has stated that his biggest regret in life as a growing actor is that he wasn't able to act in Seyal (2018). The actor disclosed that though he was approached earlier for the role of a villain, he couldn't accept the offer as he was shooting for another film. But now after seeing the film in a private screening the actor feels like he has really missed out on a fantastic role.[8]
He became the winner of the Cooku with Comali in 2023. With 12 contestants on the roster, Mime Gopi emerged victorious and became the first male contestant ever to win the show. After winning the fourth edition of Cooku Cooku with Comali, the actor promised that he would help cancer patients with his prize money.[9]
