PRATHAPACHANDRAN

PRATHAPACHANDRAN – Film Actor

Prathapachandran was born in 1941 at Omallur in Pathanamthitta District, Kerala, India. He could do school education till 9th standard. He later moved to Kollam and then to Madras when he was 14 with the hope of acting in movies. Initially he did not get any roles. He lived in Madras for three years during which he acted in radio plays and plays which the Malayalee association in Madras used to conduct.

His first movie was Viyarppinte Vila in 1962, in which he acted as a man in his 70s. After that he did some insignificant roles in a few other movies and returned to Kollam in disappointment and started acting in stage for the troupe Kalidasa Kalkendara.

He returned to movies a while later. His comeback movie was Adi Sankaracharyar. After that he became active in movies and acted in over 400 movies in his career that spanned four decades.

His characters in films like Oru CBI Diary Kurippu, Manu Uncle, Kottayam Kunjachan, etc. were widely appreciated. Prathapachandran has also produced a few Malayalam movies. Manavadharmam, Prakadanam, Kodathi, Ivide Ingane, and Kattuthee are among them.
