Gopinathan Velayudhan Nair, also known as Bharat Gopy, (2 November 1937 – 29 January 2008) was an Indian film actor, producer, and director.[1] He was one of the first actors to be associated with the New Wave cinema movement in Kerala during the 1970s.[2]
He has won many awards, including the National Film Award for Best Actor for his role as Sankarankutty in Kodiyettam (1977),[3] and hence he got the name Bharath.

As a filmmaker he is known for Ulsavapittennu (1989) and Yamanam (1991). He produced the movie Padheyam (1993) directed by Bharathan. In 1991 the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri for his contributions towards the arts.[4] On 24 January 2008, Gopi was hospitalised with chest pains. He died five days later following a cardiac arrest.

Early life[edit]

Family[edit]

He is married to Jayalakshmy.S.V. The couple have a son writer-actor Murali Gopy and a daughter Dr.Minu Gopy.

Career[edit]

Stage actor[edit]

Gopi began his acting career as a theatre actor at Prasadhana Little Theatres under G. Sankara Pillai. His first stage appearance was in the role of Raaghavan in the play Abhayarthikal. Later on, he became associated with Thiruvarange under Kaavalam Narayana Panicker. He has also written five plays and directed three.[5]

Film actor[edit]

Gopi became interested in cinema through the Chitralekha Film Society, founded by Adoor Gopalakrishnan.[6] He made his movie debut in Adoor's Swayamvaram in 1972 in a small role. He did the lead role of Sankarankutty in Adoor's next film, Kodiyettam (1977), a performance for which he won the National Award for Best Actor.[7] He was also noted for his performances in movies like Ormakkayi, Yavanika, Panchavadi Palam and Adaminte Vaariyellu. Besides Malayalam movies, he acted in two Hindi movies, Aaghat andSatah Se Uthata Aadmi.[7] Gopi was a film director and producer as well. Gopi was paralysed by a stroke on 20 February 1986, at the zenith of his career.[7][8]
He was awarded the Padma Shri in 1991.[9]
