Malayalam actor Kalabhavan Mani passed away at a private hospital in Kochi on Sunday March 06,2016
Kalabhavan Mani equally gifted in dancing and singing, popular Malayalam actor Kalabhavan Mani could make his audience laugh and cry and did that for almost a quarter of century
Mani burst into the Malayalam film industry in 1993 by first mimicking practically every film star the industry has seen as part of famous mimicry troupe Kalabhavan - which earned him his prefix. He was however first noticed in the film "Sallapam" in 1996 and after that, through his characteristic laugh and dialogue delivery style, never had to look back and went on to act in Tamil and Telegu films.
A naturally gifted artiste, Mani proved his mettle in the film "Vasantiyum Lakshmiyum Pinne Njanum" where he played the title role of a blind man which took him to even greater heights and won him the special jury award at the national and the state level in 2000.
For the past few years, he was a busy actor in the Tamil films and was mostly seen playing villain roles and also doing more of character roles in the Malayalam industry.
Apart from acting in around 200 films, he sang in about 25 films and whenever he was called for a programme, was known for voluntarily singing ballads, which made him hugely popular.
He is survived by his wife and a daughter
