S. P. Sreekumar is an Indian actor who works in Malayalam cinema and television.
His first television show was Chirikidathom on Amrita TV and later his performance as Lolithan in Marimayam gave him the big break. Within a short span of time Sreekumar has played a variety of roles in the film industry. He played a tribal youth Sankaran, in Papilio Buddha, but in his next outing ABCD: American-Born Confused Desi, he played Lloyd, a typical Kochiite with the local slang, and a serial killer in the film Memories.[1][2]
Sreekumar says "Acting is my passion and hence I don't mind playing a comic role, a serious one or even a character with grey shades. It all depends on the quality of work, and whatever role I do, I will do it with all sincerity."[1]
He married television anchor and actress Sneha Sreekumar in 2019.
Controversy
In December 2024, Sreekumar was named in a sexual assault complaint filed by a female actress associated with the television series Uppum Mulakum. The complaint alleged that Sreekumar intimidated the actress to prevent her from speaking out, while his co-actor Biju Sopanam was accused of sexual assault. The case was initially registered with the Infopark Police and later transferred to the Thrikkakara Police for further investigation. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was constituted to handle the probe. Following the filing of the complaint, both actors exited the show pending the outcome of the investigation.[3][4]
