By A Staff Reporter

LONDON Nov 19: Many would know Murali Vidhyadharan as an IT expert and as a community leader who has once been the forte of Sree Narayana Guru Mission in London. But there is another shade of life to this Keralite who completes nearly a decade of acting in his lifetime.

The boy who began acting in school days at the age of 11 in Kerala, today has a steady stream of major international films in his kitty since 2021 and it is continuing into 2022.

Since then I have acted in several feature films, short films, music videos and commercials in the past two years. Two of the commercials were shown on TV. Short film ‘I fell in love with my Stalker ‘ was shown in a cinema and came 4th in a 48 hour film competition. I also acted as a Street Handyman in the recently released film Disenchanted”.

IMDb, the world’s most popular and authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content, refers Murali Vidhyadharan as known for his role in “I’m in Love with my Stalker (2021), The Blood Magician and Bring Me A Skin for Dancing In (2022)”.

Murali has a few projects in the pipeline with the next shoot in Serbia in December.

Since the positive turn of tide since 2021 now he has an agent and also been accepted by Spotlight, the professional actor’s organisation.

Murali has been acting in Malayalam plays in London since 1980, mainly playing lead roles, and in total, would have acted in over 20 plays in London. He is also founding committee member, ex president/general secretary/ Building Project Leader of Sree Narayana Guru Mission of the UK.
