'''Shanker Ramakrishnan''' is an Indian film screenwriter, director, producer and actor, who works primarily in the [[Malayalam cinema]].

==Career==
He started his career immediately after completing post-graduation from the [[Cochin University of Science and Technology|School of Management Studies, CUSAT]].

In the collective film [[Kerala Cafe|Kerala Café]], Shankar scripted and directed the critically acclaimed film segment "Island Express". [[Prithviraj Sukumaran|Prithviraj]] who played the lead character “Leon” in the film invited Shankar to write August Cinema's maiden venture “[[Urumi (film)|Urumi]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movie-reviews/urumi/movie-review/9674172.cms|title=Urumi}}</ref>”. Urumi was a historical drama film directed and filmed by [[Santosh Sivan]] with Prithviraj and [[Genelia D'Souza|Genelia]] in the lead roles. The movie created a turning point in Shankar's artistic career and gave him opportunities to work on the wider canvas.

[[V. K. Prakash]], the National Award winner, invited Shankar to write the Malayalam version of the Hindi film "Freaky Chakra". The Malayalam version was titled "[[Natholi Oru Cheriya Meenalla|Netholi oru Cheriya Meen Alla]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-review-dont-miss-natholi-oru-cheriya-meenalla/20130211.htm|title=Natholi review}}</ref>" and was a postmodern experimental film starring [[Fahadh Faasil]] and [[Kamalinee Mukherjee]].

Shankar's filmography took a surprise detour when his mentor Ranjith offered him a role to play Alexey Thadeus, the free-spirited cancer patient, in his movie “[[Spirit (2012 film)|Spirit]]”. The role won Shankar the ‘[[South Indian International Movie Awards|SIIMA Award for Best Male Debutant]] and best supporting actor awards including the ‘Mathrubhumi Medimix Movie Award’.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} Spirit was followed by V.K.P's “[[Poppins]]” and G.S. Vijayan's “[[Bavuttiyude Namathil]]” starring [[Mammootty]] and written by Ranjith.

Shankar then went on to play vivid characters in movies like "Seconds", Sreebala K. Menon's “[[Love 24x7|Love 24X7]]” with Dileep, and Bobby-Sanjay's "[[How Old Are You? (film)|How Old Are You]]" with [[Manju Warrier]], directed by [[Rosshan Andrrews|Roshan Andrews]].

He took a break from acting and began working on the mega project "Kunjali Marikkar IV"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/mammootty-to-play-kunjali-marakkar-iv-in-santhosh-sivans-next/articleshow/61409298.cms|title=Kunjali Marikkar IV}}</ref>" originally written by [[T. P. Rajeevan]]. The movie was initially expected to hit screens by end of 2018; however the film was indefinitely postponed owing to prior commitments of the crew.<ref>{{cite news |title=Kunjali Marikkar IV postponed |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movies/news/mammoottys-kunjali-marakkar-iv-is-not-dropped-santosh-sivan/articleshow/63959523.cms}}</ref> Shankar has also completed the scripting of "[[My Story (film)|My Story]]", which will have Prithviraj and [[Parvathy Thiruvothu|Parvathy]] playing the lead roles.

Shankar recently announced his directorial debut with [[Pathinettam Padi]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.filmibeat.com/malayalam/news/2017/august-cinema-announces-their-next-be-directed-shankar-ramakrishnan-267293.html|title=pathinettam padi}}</ref>" to be produced by August Cinema. The video casting call for the new movie was hosted by actor [[Nivin Pauly]] on 17 August 2017, which went viral in the social media. On 2 October 2017, actor [[Mohanlal]] unveiled the title art of the movie.
