Team Leader  Devadas Kapikad

The efforts of Devadas Kapikad in making the Cha Parka team a household name in all the Tulu-speaking pockets of DK are indeed laudable. Popularly known as the comedy king, this talentedwriter, actor, and director has succeeded in popularizing Tulu theatre in a way that nobody else could. Kapikad is not known as the “comedy king” for nothing. He can make his audience rock with laughter, owing to which he has been aptly nicknamed “Thelikeda Bolli.” Kapikad has been making people laugh for nearly 25 years without fail; but his fans say that, although he makes them laugh, he makes them weep too at the end of his plays. This happens because Kapikad writes about burning, real-life social issues that people can understand and identify with. He hasadmitted that his plays, although packed with comedy, are intended to correct social behavior. His greatest inspiration is Kamal Hassan, the genius actor.
