CHENNAI: The once flamboyant Malaysian-born actor Ravichandran, who shot to stardom in his first movie Kaadhalikka Neramillai (No Time For Love) in 1964, died on Monday after a brief illness.

The 69-year-old, who had dazzled the South Indian cinema in the 60s and 70s, succumbed to lung infection and kidney ailment at a private hospital in Chennai on Monday morning, reported The Hindu newspaper.

Ravichandran wanted to become a medical doctor but a bout of chicken pox derailed his ambitions. He then pursued a career in acting which has spanned nearly 100 films.
