Gokulnath, also known Ambuli Gokulnath, is an Indian actor who has appeared in Tamil language films.[1][2][3]
Career
He worked as a mime artist for the reality television show Maanada Mayilada.[4] He subsequently moved on to work in Tamil cinema, playing pivotal roles in films including Ambuli, Aaah and Jumbulingam 3D. Regarding his performance in Ambuli, a critic wrote, "Gokul [...] brings in genuineness to the role of Ambuli, through his animal-like movements".[5] However, his performance in the other two films were mixed with a critic calling his performance in Aaah as "artificial" and in Jumbulingam 3D, a critic wrote, "[Gokul] busies himself with skits and mimes that I suspect would work better on stage than it does in cinema".[6][7]
His highest profile film to date is Vikram, in which he played a minor role.[4]
