Popular Movie actor Sreenath was found dead today in a hotel at Kothamanagalam. The actor had his wrist slashed when the hotel staff opened his room by 8:30 am. Police suspect this to be a case of suicide. Sreenath was staying in the room no. 102 of Mariya hotel for the last two days shooting for the Malayalam movie 'Shikaar' featuring Mohanlal.

Sreenath, who was alumni of Madras film institute began his film career in the early eighties and was one of the popular heroes for a couple of years and was able to create hits like Shalini Ente Kootukari, Ithu Njangalude Katha, Sandhya Mayangum Neram, Muthodu Muthu, Ayanam and Mangalam Nerunnu in the early period of his career.

During the good times Sreenath had been with Santhikrishna in some hit movies and they got married by the mid of eighties. But the marriage didn't last long and they moved into divorce after 15 years.

By that time the actor lost his charisma and was not seen in the films of the nineties. He then turned his into television serials where he had a very good time, donning central roles in popular soaps including Shree Janmam and Parijatham. The actor was the part of a couple of serials that are still telecasted in the evenings.

Sreenath's last film was Renjith's ‘Kerala Café’ released last year.
