Wednesday, March 19, 2008:

A popular Tamil actor Raghuvaran passed away this morning. He was 60. The versatile star acted in Tamil, Telegu and Malayalam films.

He was also a favourite of Rajinikanth and has acted with the superstar in many films including his recent blockbuster Sivaji.

Honoured by the Tamil Nadu government with its premier "Kalaimamani" award, the actor had carved a niche for himself by his method acting.

In a career spanning 26 years, Raghuvaran played hero, villain and character roles in Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi movies.

The distinctly different use of a cultured, baritone voice in a peculiarly slow, deliberate dialogue-delivery set Raghuvaran apart from the rest.

Noticed by critics immediately after his 1982 debut film Ezhavathu Manithan (Seventh Man), Raghuvaran played hero briefly and developed into a well-established character actor.

Besides leading lights of the south Indian film industry like ace director Mani Ratnam and leading actor Vijay, Local Administration Minister M K Stalin paid floral tributes to the dead actor. (With IANS inputs)

thats a sad news.

last time they had an interview, he was really weak, maybe due to over drinking or drugs...
he was complaining about not getting roles like he used to in Rajini's films (Baasha ... )

He was a great actor. I loved his Performances in Baasha, Mudalvan, Anjali.

Recently only his interview came up in the Hindu and he was cheerful. :(

He was a great Actor Second to none .Could Transform himself into any role he wanted be it a hero,Villain or Character role & yet he was modest & kept to himself.

One can never forget Anjali ,Baasha ,Mudhalvan

He is aged 49 & is survived by his ex-wife Actress Rohini & little son
His last movie which was released was Thodakkam [ I think its a flop ]

A tall persona that he was, yet he was humble & simple.Whatever people say about him , is his personal life & yes its true.
