Theatre artiste Ahwan Sebastian dead

Kozhikode: Ahwan Sebastian, veteran theatre artiste who donned commendable roles for popularising amateur and professional drama, died here on Wednesday evening. He was 84.

A contemporary of dramatists K.T. Mohammed, Vincent Samuel and Vikraman Nair, Sebastian was a familiar face at drama venues till recently. He had been active in the field since 1970.

As a talented actor, director, musician and scriptwriter, Sebastian was a familiar face to Malayalam movie buffs in the 1980s. Like Balan K. Nair and Kuthiravattom Pappu, he was absorbed by the film industry.
