  Venugopalan came into the world as Nedumudi Venu's son. Born on May 22, 1948, he grew up as the last among five boys. His parents, PK Keshavan Pillai and Kunjikutty Amma, taught at a local school. The family lived in Nedumudi, part of the Alappuzha district. Four older brothers surrounded him during childhood.

Starting out in Nedumudi, NSS picked up his early lessons at Higher Secondary School in Champakulam, then moved to St. Mary’s for more schooling. While going through classes, culture called to him - he showed up regularly in events and performances. Later on, at SD College in Alappuzha, things shifted when a friend named Fazil began writing plays; those productions pulled him into acting. His time there opened doors, one script at a time.

Meeting Aravindan, then Padmarajan, followed by Bharat Gopi, opened doors slowly. That path led straight into movies. When Jayan died, a shift happened in Malayalam films - Nedumudi stepped right into it. Few performers brought as much depth as he did on screen. Born Venugopal on 22 May 1948, his presence shaped decades of storytelling. Death arrived on October 11, 2021, ending a lasting influence. Venu's name pops up across more than five hundred movies, mostly in Malayalam, some in Tamil. Writing scripts keeps his attention, too, not just acting. A movie called Pooram? He stepped behind the camera for that one.

Not many know his start came in 1978 through Aravindan Thampu. A quiet shift arrived when Padmarajan released One Filivhan - roles deepened after that moment. The part in Bharathan’s Aravam stuck with people long after viewing. Recognition followed: two National Film Awards found him, along with six from Kerala State. Writing slipped into his path - he shaped tales for several movies, too.

One of Malayalam cinema’s most frequent leading ladies, she brought depth through nuanced performances and shifting vocal rhythms. Her screen presence gained strength from expressive delivery, not just lines, but how they landed. Work on small-screen dramas kept her visible beyond film sets. A quiet intensity marked her off-camera readings, often noted by peers. Death came on October 11, 2021. A private hospital in Thiruvananthapuram moved him straight into intensive care. Though struggling with stomach issues lately, she’s stayed on course with medical help through it all.
