- Nagesh (born C. Krishna Rao Gundu Rao; 27 September 1933 – 31 January 2009), was a Tamil film actor, mostly remembered for his roles as a comedian during the 1960s. He is regarded as one of the most prolific comedians in Tamil cinema. Nagesh was born in a Kannada family from Dharapuram, Erode. He was educated in Madras and worked as a clerk in the Indian Railways before entering Tamil film industry. He acted in over 1,000 Indian films from 1958 to 2008, performing in variety of roles as comedian, lead roles, supporting actor and antagonist. He died on 31 January 2009. In a stark contrast to the comic roles he performed, Nagesh's personal life was wrought with suffering. After losing his father at an early age, Nagesh had to endure a weak financial situation and family ostracism which plagued him throughout his life. The film Server Sundaram, a rags to riches story in which Nagesh plays the lead role, is believed to be roughly based on the real life story of the actor. Despite being primarily a comedian, Nagesh was rated highly as a character actor by his peers. Nagesh's style of comedy was largely inspired by Hollywood actor Jerry Lewis. Similarities between Nagesh and Lewis earned Nagesh the sobriquet "Jerry Lewis of India".
- C. K. Nagesh, eig. Gundu Rao, was een Indisch film- en theateracteur in Kollywood. Als filmkomediespeler was hij vooral in de jaren 1960 een geliefd acteur in de Tamilfilms van Kollywood. Hij stamde uit een familie van brahmanen en begon te acteren in theatergroepen. Zijn filmdebuut maakte hij in 1961 in L. V. Prasads Thayilla Pillai. In Server Sundaram (1964) speelde hij zijn eerste hoofdrol als de kelner Sundaram. Naast talrijke komische rollen, speelde hij ook karakterrollen, zoals in A. P. Nagarajans Thiruvilaiyadal (1965) als arme dichter en in C. V. Sridhars Kadalikka Neramillai (1964) en ernstige rollen in regie van Balachanders in Neer Kumizhi (1965) en Ethir Neechal (1968). Nagesh acteerde samen met Sivaji Ganesan, M. G. Ramachandran en Kamalahasan en speelde meermaals aan de zijde van de actrice Manorama. Sinds het einde van de jaren 1970 speelde Nagesh ook in Telugu- en Malayalamfilms. Zijn laatste film was de Kamal-Hassan-productie Dasavatharam (2008). Hij kreeg voor zijn werk diverse onderscheidingen, zoals de Tamil "Kannadasan Award" in 2007. Nageshs zoon Anand Babu is eveneens acteur.
