I already know Raghuvaran is a good actor having his own unique style. There was something special about him. From last wednesday, I have been reading more about him. Now only some sort of relisation of losing a great, greatly under utilized actor (maybe a honest person also) is dawning on me. Maybe people will agree. He has got a unique ability to underplay his roles. With this unique acting range, maybe his best was yet to come.
What a tragedy of life. We reliaze the worth of a person only after he/she is gone...
everyone will miss you sir .. awesome actor and a great human being .. i have had the good fortune of meeting the man some 4 yrs ago at chennai airport .. he was very cordial and chatted for 10 mins .. i ll upload the photo soon .. its hard to believe that he is dead
Nobody will forget Raghuvaran from movies like Shiva,Passivadi pranam etc from telegu. His acting created a trend for villian charecters. The mentioned movies are such a hit,It ran just because of raghu. Even okke Okkadu(Mudhalvan) created ripples for his role. A great homage to such a versatile actor.
hi,this is Rohini. I will always cherish your love and appreciation for Raghu.My son may not understand anything now but he will know his father's greatness through your words.Thank you

Hi, what you said is 100% right. though a mother and relatives may say praises of a father . But the praises of the father can be well made known to son only by the society.But your subject title gives a wrong meaning to the whole issue i also read that you were working on a likely reunion ( efforts by Rajini). our sincere condolences to you

Hi, We dont know about both of your personal life(You and Raghu), but when you divorced him we felt very bad. He was such a wonderful actor, and loyal, you could have live with him. But it was a great loss for all, such a talented actor we have lost.

Hi Raghu was a great actor, unique was his style of presentation and voice modulation. He had charisma. Raghu like everyone had his own personal problems and he could could not outlive them unfortunately.

He is such a wonderful and excellent actor. We can see liveliness in his acting. It%u2019s a great loss to Tamil film industry. No one can compensate his loss.
I heard on SunTV news that Raghuvaran age is 49. But according to your date of birth, his age is more than 49... Editor kindly update his date of birth and provide exact info.
A villain - without speaking a singly and only thru the expressions of his eyes he did creat terror. I don't think anyone can do so. An actor unparalelled. Request the writer to check back his year of birth.
Looks like the writer is not aware of some of the best performances of Raghuvaran in Malayalam movies. Undobtedly, his best movie was "Daivathinte Vikruthikal" which brought him very close to a national award. This movie touched me a lot showed how different Raghuvaran than normal villan and I can forget the magician Alphonse achan.
This article says Raghvaran was born in 1948, whch means he was 60 years old. I am goddamn sure he is NOT more than 50 years... Writers must cross check before giving some info...

even in some new papers it is mentioned as 1948 but i think it is wrong he may be 48 years old
