Biography

Indrans is a Malayalam film actor and costume designer. He acts mainly in comedy roles. He has acted in over 250 films.

Indrans, a tailor by profession, debuted in the film Choothattam (1981) as a costume designer. It was producer T.M.N. Charley who offered him a chance to assist in costume designing. Although he had the opportunity to meet many filmmakers, including evergreen hero Prem Nazir, Sathaar, Kuthiravattam Pappu, Jose Prakash and Jayabharathi, he concentrated only on designing costumes for several years in the industry. However, he did very small roles on screen.

Soon, Indrans started getting fresh assignments from well-known directors like P. Padmarajan, Venu Nagavalli, Shaji N. Karun, Sibi Malayil and K. Madhu. CID Unnikrishnan B.A., B.Ed. (1994) was a turning point in his career as an actor. His brand of comedy clicked with the audiences, and he went on to become one of the mainstream comedians in Kerala. Since then, he has been busy to date.

Indrans has acted in more than 500 films so far. As a comedy actor, he has made most use of his slender, lean figure and typical accent to win over the audience. He created his style in cinema and never replicated the comedy of the legendary Adoor Bhasi, Bahadur, Jagathy Sreekumar or Innocent Vareed Thekkethala. Renowned directors Adoor Gopalakrishnan and T.V. Chandran also offered him a role.
