Augustine

Career

Beginning his acting career through theatre, Augustine entered the Malayalam film industry in the mid-1980s through an uncredited role, in the movie Swapnalokam, starring Sreenath, in 1983. His first credited appearance was in Gandhinagar 2nd Street in 1986; the role had been offered to him by Sreenivasan for having assisted the latter in finding a filming location for Gandhinagar 2nd Street. Augustine also appeared in such films as Commissioner, Devasuram, Ekalavyan, Aaraam Thampuran, Kazhcha and Katha Parayumpol. He produced the Malayalam film, Mizhi Randilum.

Health and death

Augustine suffered a stroke in late 2009; however, he made a partial recovery and continued acting. Following a fall in a hotel room in April 2013, he underwent treatment in Pattambi. But later, he was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and finally died of kidney failure, aged 58, on 14 November 2013 at a private hospital in Kozhikode. Kadal Kadannu Oru Maathukutty was the last film in which he appeared.
