Popular actor and theatre artiste Janaradhanan Moozhikkara was found dead in a well near his house on Sunday. The incident happened at around 12 pm in the afternoon. As the net over the well was found misplaced, the natives suspected the actor to have fallen into it. Soon the Fire Force was informed and they rushed to the spot. Later, the actor's body was recovered from the well.

The 62-year-old actor, who is a familiar face among Keralites, has acted in over 12 Malayalam films including ‘English Medium’, ‘Kakshi Ammini Pilla’ and ‘Mazhamekhapravukal’.
