Personal life

[edit]

At the start of his film career, he worked with actress Shanthi Krishna in a few hit movies and fell in love during the shoot of Ithu Njangalude Katha.[2] He later married her at Guruvayoor Temple in September 1984. They parted ways in September 1995.[3]

He married Latha in 1999. The couple have a son named Viswajith.[4]

Career

Sreenath began his film career in the 1980s, but slowly shifted his focus to television acting although he continued to act in films occasionally. He completed two years of acting courses at South India Film Chambers.

His popular films include Shalini Ente Koottukari, Ithu Njangalude Katha, Oru CBI Diary Kurippu, Kireedam, and Devaasuram. Sreenath's last film was 2009's Kerala Cafe, a movie that had 10 short films woven around a common theme.

Sreenath was winner of the state award for best TV actor twice.[5]

Sreenath was found dead with his wrists slashed in a hotel room in Kothamangalam in Kerala on 23 April 2010.[6] He had been in Kothamangalam for the shooting of the Malayalam film Shikar. His body was later shifted to Thiruvananthapuram and cremated at Shanthikavadam Crematorium with full state honour. His death suspected as murder by his family.
