Malayalam actress and theatre veteran Savithri Sreedharan, best known for her role in the 2018 film ‘Sudani from Nigeria’, died at her home in Kozhikode on Wednesday. She was 83, though one source gives her age as 78. She had been bedridden for a long time and died of age-related ailments.
Her portrayal of Jameela in ‘Sudani from Nigeria’ earned her a Special Mention at the 66th National Film Awards and the Kerala State Film Award for Best Character Actress. She also appeared in films including ‘Virus’, ‘Dakini’, ‘Ittymaani: Made in China’ and ‘Paappan’.
Sreedharan had a theatre career spanning more than four decades, starting with amateur drama and later joining professional groups like Kalinga Theatre. Her body will be kept at Kozhikode Town Hall from 3.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. on Wednesday for the public to pay homage.
