CINEMA LEGEND SETHUMADHAVAN NO MORE
Sad to know that veteran Malayalam Screenwriter & Filmmaker K. S. Sethumadhavan passed away at the age of 90!
He made meaningful cinema in South Indian languages like Malayalam, Tamil & Telugu and in Hindi also! During six decades of his film career he made over 60 films and won state & national awards!
Some of his classic films were based on novels, in which legendary Malayalam star Prem Nazir acted. He handled very sensitive social issues in some of his contemporary films like in Malayalam 'Chattakkari' (1974) which latter became superhit Hindi movie 'Julie' (1975).
Most of his films were screened in our 'International Film Festival of India's Panorama. I still remember the conversation we had with him in the press conference of his Telugu film 'Stri' (1995) in 'IFFI'.
Few years back I wrote an article on Sethumadhavan's Cinema here!!
Humble Homage!!
