Ilancheran, better known as Lollu Sabha Maaran, is an Indian actor and comedian known for his work in Tamil films.[2] He became a well-known face when he started acting in the television show Comedy Bazaar, which aired on Jaya TV.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Ilancheran was born to Mani, a political orator for Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. Ilancheran changed his name to Maaran for his career. Later, he joined the Communist Party, and he was interested in communist art. He also painted communist paintings in his area, which led his father to feel he was against his father's ideology.[3] So he changed his thoughts and later worked in a ration shop before entering the television acting industry.

Career

[edit]

He started his career as an art director for television shows. After that, he got a chance to act in the television shows Comedy Bazaar and Lollu Sabha. His first film was a supporting role in the film Student Number 1.[3] After gaining popularity through his television comedy shows, Lollu Sabha and Comedy Bazaar, he acted as a comedian in many films.

In 2014, after acting in C. S. Amudhan's Rendavathu Padam, he made his directorial debut with the film Iraimagan. but due to financial problems, he approached his friend Santhanam to refer a producer. The film was later shelved. However, at the time, the Lollu Sabha duo Muruganand (Murugan and Prem Anand) were making their debut as film directors with the film Inimey Ippadithan. They asked him to help with the additional improvements to the dialogues, so he worked on that film.

In 2016, his friend Mahendran Rajamani also made his directorial debut with a film named Enakku Vaaitha Adimaigal. Mahendran offered a supporting role in the film. So Maaran acted and also wrote the lyrics for one song. After that, he acted as a comedian in many films with Santhanam. In 2021, Dikkiloona was released on ZEE5. The film received mostly negative reviews, and the dialogues of Maaran were praised. And then he got chances to act in more films like Naai Sekar, Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal, and Naai Sekar Returns.
