Ambazhathil Karunakaran Lohithadas (A. K. Lohithadas) (May 10th, 1955 - June 28th, 2009) was a prolific screenwriter and director in Malayalam cinema, known for his rich, detailed, and realistic screenplays.

Biography

Lohithadas (or 'Lohi', as he is often referred to) was born on May 10th, 1955 in Chalakkudi, Kerala. He showed an initial interest was in short-stories, but failed to make a mark in that genre. He soon moved into Malayalam theater in 1986 when his debut script was accepted for the stage by the legendary theater personality Thoppil Bhasi. Bhasi's CPI party backed drama troupe, the highly successful 'Kerala People's Arts Club', produced the play, leading to a state award for Lohithadas.

Fresh with the play's commercial and critical success, Lohithadas moved to Malayalam Cinema by writing for director Sibi Malayil. His first movie screenplay Thaniavarthanam was directed by Malayil and went on to be a success. The Sibi Malayil-Lohithadas combination would later produce several memorable Malayalam movies. On June 28, 2009, he came to Kochi to attend the general body meet of AMMA in the morning, developed uneasiness and was immediately taken to the Lisy Hospital where he was declared dead of cardiac arrest at 10:50 AM.
