Background

[edit]

Ajith Kumar Haridas hailed from Kottayam, Kerala. He was one of six children born to Haridasan and Devakiamma in 1962. His father was a railway officer and mother was a house wife. He completed his primary education at Krist Raj High School, Kollam and Bachelors in Arts Degree from Sree Narayana College, Kollam.[4]

Since his father was a Railway Station Master who was working at Kollam, he was brought up at Kadappakada in Kollam and adopted Kollam as the suffix for his name.[5]

He went to the director Padmarajan to become an assistant director but, seeing his talent, Padmarajan cast him in his movie Parannu Parannu Parannu, and thus made his debut in a Malayalam movie in 1984. After that, he was a permanent actor in all Padmarajan movies. He turned director and scriptwriter in the Malayalam movie Calling Bell.[citation needed]
