Biography
Sreenivasan was an Indian film actor and screenwriter known for his work in Malayalam cinema. He has written for over 50 films and has acted in over 200 films. He has also directed and produced two films each. Sreenivasan wrote the screenplay for films such as Odaruthammava Aalariyam (1984), Sanmanassullavarkku Samadhanam (1986), Gandhinagar 2nd Street (1986), Nadodikkattu (1987), Pattanapravesham (1988), Varavelpu (1989), Thalayanamanthram (1990), Sandesam (1991), Midhunam (1993), Mazhayethum Munpe (1995), Azhakiya Ravanan (1996), and Ayal Kadha Ezhuthukayanu (1998), among others. As a writer and actor, he has frequently collaborated with directors such as Priyadarshan, Sathyan Anthikad and Kamal. As an actor, he has collaborated several times with Mohanlal. As a filmmaker, he scripted and directed Vadakkunokkiyanthram (1989) and Chinthavishtayaya Shyamala (1998). Sreenivasan’s scripts in the 1980s and 1990s brilliantly portrayed the amusing part of pulp fiction stories that appeared in a majority of substandard Malayalam magazines while not to mention his valiant effort in explaining the negative influence of such contents to society. Through his subtle humour, he was, on the other hand, pretty successful in providing incredible insights into the militant labour unions that are largely responsible for the closure of many industries in Kerala. Sreenivasan has created a new dimension for Malayalam cinema by way of humour to tell stories in the simplest manner.
