G. Balachandran was an assistant cameraman in the Malayalam film industry. He and his family were living in Trichur. He passed away this morning in Trichur. He is none other than the father of Bhavana Menon, the popular Malayalam and Tamil actress. Bhavana is not seen in the Tamil films recently, as she is doing lots of Malayalam and Kannada movies. Bhavana made her debut through the Tamil movie ‘Chithiram Pesudhadi’. This movie, which had 'Narain' in her side, was a critically lauded movie. She was popular through “Jayam Kondan” and “Arya”. We share our prayers to Bhavana and family and let her father’s soul rest in peace.
