John Abraham (director)

John Abraham (Malayalam: ജോണ്‍ അബ്രഹാം, 11 August 1937 - 31 May 1987), was a Malayali Indian filmmaker and screenwriter. He was perhaps famous for his style of living and way of thinking than for his films. He attained a legendary status, living a nomadic kind of life. He rebelled against all the established ways of life as well as art. John Abraham is recognised as a genius in Malayalam cinema. He made his mark with the Tamil film Agraharathil Kazhuthai, but is possibly remembered most for his efforts in starting a people's cinema movement, an absolute form of independent filmmaking called Odessa Collective.
