Ennathe Kannaiah was a comedian who appeared in Tamil-language films. In the Ravichandran-Jayalalita starrer Naan, as he spoke his dialogues, he frequently used the word "Ennathe" (transl. What?) and this became his nickname. Decades later, he became even better known for his dialogue, "Varuum... Aanaa Varaadhu".
