National award-winning Malayalam film actor Thilakan is dead. He was 77.
Thilakan, who had acted in around 200 films and had won the national
award for the best actor in a supporting role, died at a private
hospital in Thiruvananthapuram around 3.30 a.m. on Monday after battling
with multiple organ failure over the last one month.
Thilkan's body would be kept for public viewing at the Victoria Jubilee
Memorial Town Hall in Thiruvananthapuram from 11 a.m. and cremated at
the electric crematorium around 4 p.m.
Thilakan was born at Ayroor (now in Pathanamthitta district) on July 15,
1938. And he was born to act. His tryst with acting began while he was
still at school. Acting – or theatre, to be more precise – was his
vocation. It did not take him too long to make a mark as an exceptional
performer on stage. His mentor P.J. Antony was his biggest influence in
his theatre days.
