In this Indian name, the name Vadakkekarayil Koran is a patronymic, and the person should be referred to by the given name, Bharathan.

Vadakkekarayil Koran Bharathan (16 January 1929- 19 August 2015), better known as Paravoor Bharatan was an Indian actor who acted in Malayalam films. He started his career in movies during the 1950s. Bharathan is known as a versatile actor and has played a variety of roles including negative roles, character roles and comedy roles.[1]

Life

[edit]

Bharathan was born to Vadakkekarayil Kochannan Koran and Kurumbakutty in 1929 at Vavakkad, Moothakunnam in North Paravoor, Cochin. He went to S.N.M. High School, Moothakunnam but, had to discontinue his studies when his father died. His father died when he was very young and his mother took care of him.

He used to act during his school days as well. On one occasion, he caught the eye of Kedamangalam Sadanandan, a noted Kathaprasangam artiste, who introduced him to the state troupe - Pushpitha during mid-1940s. He started acting in stage shows in and around Paravoor. He has also performed dramas in actor Jose Prakash's drama troupe.

When the play Rakthabandham was being made into a film, Vijayabhanu recommended Bharathan's name for a role. The movie released in 1951 and was directed by Vel Swamy. It had Cherthala Vasudeva Kurup, Ambalapuzha Meenakshi, S. D. Subbiah and others in main roles. Bharathan went on to act in films like Kerala Kesari and Marumakal.

Bharathan spent a good amount of his early life as a stage actor. The turning point was his comic role in the play Maattoli in the early 50s. Acting alongside Bharathan in this play was Thankamani (she played a cameo in Neelakuyil), whom he later married.[2] Parethante Vilapam was the last telefilm and Changathikoottam released in 2009 was the last film he acted in.[3]

Family

[edit]

He was married to Thankamani.[4] They have four children Pradeep, Madhu, Ajayan and Bindu.[5]

Death

[edit]

Bharathan died on 19 August 2015 morning at his home in Paravoor. He was suffering from various age-related ailments and was under treatment. Coincidentally he died on the fiftieth anniversary of the film Chemmeen's release, in which he had played a minor role.[6]
