Padmadalakshan, better known by his stage name Kuthiravattam Pappu (24 December 1936 – 25 February 2000),[1] was a popular Indian stage and film actor. His repertoire of acting was based on his unique style and use of the Kozhikodan[2] dialect, impeccable timing and the capability to grasp the subtle nuances of any character and mould it into his signature "Pappu style". He acted in over a thousand Malayalam films.[3] He made his debut in a small comic role in Bhargavi Nilayam. His character was named Kuthiravattom, a name that stuck for the rest of his career.[4]
