Malayalam Actor MADHU

The major break in Madhu's career was Ramu Kariat's Chemmeen.  Even now, several decades after the film was released, Madhu is best known as the Pareekkutty of Chemmeen.  Even today, his dialogues in the film are repeated by young mimicry artistes in Kerala. The song sung picturised on Madhu (and sung by Manna Dey), Maanasa maine varoo is still hummed. Madhu became part of the parallel cinema movement. He acted in Adoor Gopalakrishnan's Swayamvaram, P N Menon's Olavum Theeravum, etc, even though he was a big hero in commercial films then. His directorial venture, Priya, won a National Award, too. These days, Madhu is more involved in the extremely successful Saraswathi Vidyalaya, a school that he founded in the early Nineties. He began his career educating college students. After a career in films, he is back to imparting knowledge to children through his school.
