1. Aranmula Ponnamma


Aranmula-Ponnamma.jpg With the death of Aranmula Ponnamma at the ripe old age of 96, Malayalam cinema literally lost a “mother figure”. For none else had ever enacted so many motherly roles in her film career as did Ponnamma, and it may also be a record for world cinema. In fact, she had enacted the roles of screen mother for artistes who were several years senior to her, including the famous Prem Nazir, with the star once commenting that he may have addressed her as mother so many times more than he would have done for his real mother. Tragically, in her real life, she could not perform her role of mother as she would have liked it, since her daughter and son had both met with very untimely deaths. As she had also lost her husban...

5. Sreenivasan


24-03-2017/sreenivasan.png Actor Sreenivasan is a Malayalam actor who had ruled the regional cinema graph for over 25 years and has earned the credit of having acted in over 200 films so far. But he never attributes his success even once for the quantity of films that he had done so far. He is an actor who lacked star appeal always. Instead of relying on his looks, he concentrated more on his talent that helped him carve a niche in Mollywood. He could perform any character on screen whether it is a villain role or a comedy role which drew a parallel recognition when compared with the ranks of superstars. His comedy role gave Malayalam cinema some of its finest films. Though...
