S. P. Sreekumar is a promising actor, comedian and character artist of Malayalam cinema known for his distinct laughs, perhaps after Kalabhavan Mani. With his distinct dialects and mannerisms, he has caught attention of film viewers in a short period. Yet he has stunned everyone by doing the villain’s (serial killer) role in the suspense thriller – Memories in 2013.

His ability to play a variety of characters, across genres makes him one of the rising young stars of Malayalam film industry at present.

Sreekumar belongs to Thiruvananthapuram. He gained attention for the first time through TV show Chirikidathom on Amrita TV, which marked his small screen entry too. However his character role as Lolithan in Marimayam gave him the big break. The series turned out to be a perfect launch pad for Sreekumar. ABCD: American-Born Confused Desi marked his acting debut on big screen, where he played a comic role - Lloyd Fernandes, a Fort Kochi Lad. He met people in the Mattancherry area and understood the nuances and Kochi slang for the movie and his dialogue delivery is so realistic that people still call him as a Koch lad, though he is from Thiruvananthapuram.
