Popular comedian Kalabhavan Haneef dead From IANS Kochi, Nov 9 (IANS) Popular comedian Kalabhavan Haneef who has acted in over 150 Malayalam films besides numerous TV serials passed away here on Thursday. For a while he was ailing from breathing issues and on Wednesday was rushed to a hospital here and his condition got worse and passed away in the evening. The 60 year old actor started as a mimicry artiste and right from his school days he was doing mimicry. In the mid eighties he joined the then hugely popular troupe of Kalabhavan and since then he had no reason to look back and soon was a popular actor in the films. His long time friend and fellow artiste Ramesh Pisharody said Haneef was a gentle person and loved by all as he had no airs at all. “ He had lots of friends in the industry and I am yet to hear anyone speaking ill of him. He never ever complained that his role was only small and short. It was never the length of his roles, as he did it well and hence was a popular artiste,” said Pisharody. His latest release ‘Garudan’ is presently running to packed house. The last rites will be held at his home town Mattancherry near here on Friday.
