	Actors - JP Chandrababu

JP Chandrababu (1932–1974) - Tamil film comedian-actor, singer and dancer, whose chaplin-style on-screen movements and unique singing style, with some humorous yet philosophical Tamil lyrics and a bass voice, made him popular from the late 1940's to the early 1970's.

Many of his songs have remained popular through the generations and to this day - to the old and young alike.

Originally from Tuticorin, India - from the Tamil Paravas (Fernando) community - he grew up and had his schooling in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where his father worked for a Tamil daily published there, during the British colonial days.

Chandrababu made his way to Chennai (Madras), in India, and eventually came into the Tamil film world, which gave him a chance to unleash his many talents.

Though multi-talented and successful in his career, he could not emulate the same level of success in his personal life - he became addicted to alcohol after a failed marriage and died in 1974, at the relatively young age of 42 - still making a mark in the world of Tamil arts.
