Tribute

Augustine

Malayalam film actor and producer Augustine(30 July 1955 - 14 November 2013 ) died at a private hospital today. He was 58. He is survived by his wife Nancy and two daughters - actress Ann Augustine and Jeethu. Even after a stroke in 2010, he used to act in movies. The last film that he acted in was "Shutter".  He was in treatment for liver diseases. Acted in more than 300 films and Dramas.

Beginning his acting career through theatre, Augustine entered the Malayalam film industry in the mid-eighties and since then he has acted in more than 100 films. Augustine suffered a stroke in 2010 and since then even though not fully fit, he acted in a few films. Recently his health deteriorated further and was hospitalised frequently. Even though never a front line actor, Augustine excelled when he acted alongside superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal. Notable among his films were "Commissioner", "Devasuram", "Ekalavyan", "Aaran Thampuran", "Kazhcha" and "Katha Paryumbol". His last film was "Shutter" that was released early this year. Prominent director Renjith kept him company all through his career and was seen in every film of his. 

"He did not become an actor overnight. Instead, he made use of small roles that came his way. He had extremely talented film professionals as his close friends," said Innocent, the president of the actor's body, AMMA.
