Tamil Actor Raghuvaran Dead


With his actress wife Rohini and Son Nandha
Raghuvaran (60) the noted character actor of Tamil cinema passed away early this morning at a private hospital in Chetpet, Chennai, due to a cardiac arrest. The actor was married to actress Rohini, but the marriage failed and they went through a messy divorce. The couple has an 8-year-old son Nanda.
Raghuvaran's claim to fame was his stylized way of acting and his dialogue delivery. He had a huge following among the masses. He stole the thunder whenever he played the villain with the swagger and with the way he drawled on his dialogues. Right from his first film Ezhavathu Manithan(1982), he created his own acting style.

We have lost One of a Kind actor who left a mark on Indian Film Industry. His acting is so powerful that he matches heros of the film.

May his soul rest in peace.
