'''Kalasala Babu''' (1950 {{endash}} 14 May 2018) was an Indian actor who performed on stage, and in television serials and films.

==On stage==
Babu had been acting in radio plays while at college. Following his graduation in 1973, Babu acted in ''Paanchajanyam'', yielding a good performance. Babu acted at Kalidasa Kala Kendram for two years, and was offered roles by the late [[O. Madhavan]] and [[K. T. Muhammed]].<ref name=hindu_stagetoscreen>{{cite news|url=http://www.hindu.com/fr/2005/09/23/stories/2005092300910200.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070519205814/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2005/09/23/stories/2005092300910200.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=19 May 2007 |title=From stage to screen |date= 23 September 2005|access-date=7 May 2011 |work=[[The Hindu]] |location=Chennai, India}}</ref>

After acting in his first film ''[[Inaye thedi|Inayethedi]]'' in 1977, Babu started his drama troupe 'Kalasala' in Thripunithura, which had artists such as [[Thilakan]] and Surasu, amongst others. The troupe began with the play ''Thalavattom'', scripted by Surasu, which became a big hit. In total, nine plays were conducted and scripted by renowned personalities such as [[P. J. Antony]], Sreemoolanagaram Vijayan, [[N. N. Pillai]] and others. The troupe operated until 1980.<ref name=hindu_stagetoscreen />
