V. Madhusudhana Rao (Director, Screenplay)
(b. 1933) Aka Madhu. Malayalam actor and director introduced by Kariat and Bhaskaran in the early 1960s. Originally Madhavan Nair, born in Trivandrum, Kerala. Graduate of the Benares Hindu University, later diploma in acting from the National School of Drama. Together with Sathyan and Prem Nazir, he defined Malayali machismo in commercial productions, often playing the sad and suffering lover. After Chemmeen, which gave him a reputation as a character actor, acted regularly in independent productions (e.g. P.N. Menon’s Olavum Theeravum, Adoor Gopalakrishnan’s Swayamvaram). In recent films like Ottayadi Paathakal he became better known for his emphatic playing than for his more numerous conventional starring roles. His ‘offbeat’ reputation was enhanced by his first directorial effort, Priya, featuring Bengali actress Lili Chakraborty, which received much critical attention in Kerala. An admirer of Bengali culture, he chose to play the Bengali commando in Abbas’ national integration war movie Saat Hindustani. Founded the Uma Studio, Trivandrum. Known in the 90s for producing children’s films.
