Villain
actor Raguvaran on Wednesday died at a private nursing home in Chetpet.
He was ailing for sometime, and his end came this morning. Born on
December 11, 1948 the actor had entered filmdom through the film
Ezhavadhu Manidhan and acted in Poovizhi Vasaliley, Mister Bharath,
Anjali, Mudhalvan, Basha, Sivaji, Bheema. His last film was Sila
Nerangalil which was released last month. Besides the Tamil films he
has acted in Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi films.

He married
actress Rohini and was blessed with a son. Due to misunderstandings
between the actor and his actress wife, the court gave them divorce.
However, Raghuvaran used to frequent Rohini's house and Rohini was also
visiting his house with her son.
On hearing the death news of the
actor, actress Rohini was shocked and immediately visited the house of
Raguvaran. She wanted the body of Raguvaran to be handed over to her
for cremation.

Many film personalities who came to know about
the shocking news immediately cancelled their shoots to pay homage to
the villain actor.

Raghuvaran was living alone at his T'Nagar
house in Chennai. The actor had carved a niche for himself with his
style of acting different from the earlier Tamil film villains.
