One of the best actor ever graced Indian film. He was the son of the write Jagathy N Achari. He was very active in the school and college drama activities and wanted to be an actor from childhood. Since he didn't want to use his father's name to get a chance in movies, he never revealed about his father during his struggling days in Madras.

His friendship with late director/actor Venu Nagavally was very famous. When he decided to leave his home to Madras to look for acting roles, he went to Venu for the money for travel and accommodation. Venu just joined trivandrum aakashavani, and just got his first salary. Ambili sir was waiting for Venu at Aakashavani gate step and venu gave all his salary to Ambili. Jagathy's best comedy scenes where penned by Venu Nagavally.

    • Quotes
      Roles that have scope for humour as well as emotions give me satisfaction. Characters who see life itself as a comedy and at the same time have sorrows to bear, who wallow in their own sufferings and at the same time see other people's sufferings - such semi-serious, character roles I'd always love to do. They have in them a mix of pathos and humour and an identity of their own.
