In his very first film, Patnapravashem directed by KB he performed very well.
At the initial stage, he was acting in Kathadi Ramamurthy's drams and subsequently he settled very well in cinema.
He happened to be one of my family friends' relative.
I still remember his driving a scooter for going to shooting during mid 1970s at Luz Church Road. He was residing at Nadhu Street some times.
I think, he belongs to Brahacharanam sect.
