| 4 | Malayalam actor and director introduced by |
| 5 | Kariat and Bhaskaran in the early 1960s. |
| 6 | Originally Madhavan Nair, born in Trivandrum, |
| 7 | Kerala. Graduate of the Benares Hindu |
| 8 | University, later diploma in acting from the |
| 9 | National School of Drama. Together with |
| 10 | Sathyan and Prem Nazir, he defined Malayali |
| 11 | machismo in commercial productions, often |
| 12 | playing the sad and suffering lover. After |
| 13 | Chemmeen, which gave him a reputation as a |
| 14 | character actor, acted regularly in independent |
| 15 | productions (e.g. P.N. Menon’s Olavum |
| 16 | Theeravum, Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s |
| 17 | Swayamvaram). In recent films like |
| 18 | Ottayadi Paathakal he became better |
| 19 | known for his emphatic playing than for his |
| 20 | more numerous conventional starring roles. His |
| 21 | ‘offbeat’ reputation was enhanced by his first |
| 22 | directorial effort, Priya, featuring Bengali |
| 23 | actress Lili Chakraborty, which received much |
| 24 | critical attention in Kerala. An admirer of |
| 25 | Bengali culture, he chose to play the Bengali |
| 26 | commando in Abbas’ national integration war |
| 27 | movie Saat Hindustani. Founded the Uma |
| 28 | Studio, Trivandrum. Known in the 90s for |
| 29 | producing children’s films. |
