== Life ==<br />
Bharathan was born to Vadakkekarayil Kochannan Koran and Kurumbakutty in 1929 at [[Vavakkad]], Moothakunnam in [[North Paravoor]], Cochin. He went to S.N.M. High School, Moothakunnam but, had to discontinue his studies when his father died. His father was a coconut plucker and mother was a coir maker. His father died when he was very young and his mother took care of him.<br />
<br />
He used to act during his school days as well. On one occasion, he caught the eye of Kedamangalam Sadanandan, a noted Kathaprasangam artiste, who introduced him to the state troupe - Pushpitha during mid-1940s. He started acting in state shows in and around [[Paravur Taluk|Paravoor]]. He has also performed dramas in actor [[Jose Prakash]]'s drama troupe.<br />
<br />
When the play ''[[Rakthabandham]]'' was being made into a film, Vijayabhanu recommended Bharathan's name for a role. The movie released in 1951 and was directed by Vel Swamy. It had Cherthala Vasudeva Kurup, Ambalapuzha Meenakshi, S. D. Subbiah and others in main roles. Bharathan went on to act in films like ''Kerala Kesari'' and ''[[Marumakal]]''.<br />
<br />
Bharathan spent a good amount of his early life as a stage actor. The turning point was his comic role in the play ''Maattoli'' in the early 50s. Acting alongside Bharathan in this play was Thankamani (she played a cameo in ''[[Neelakuyil]]''), whom he later married.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/fr/2009/05/22/stories/2009052251110100.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110227115710/http://www.hindu.com/fr/2009/05/22/stories/2009052251110100.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-02-27 |work=[[The Hindu]] |title=Archive News |date=2009-05-22 |access-date=2016-12-01}}</ref> ''Parethante Vilapam'' was the last telefilm and ''Changathikoottam'' released in 2009 was the last film he acted in.<ref>{{cite web|title=പറവൂർ ഭരതൻ (86) അന്തരിച്ചു|url=http://www.manoramaonline.com/movies/movie-news/paravoor-bharathan-passes-away.html|publisher=manoramaonline.com|access-date=19 August 2015}}</ref><br />
