He made his directorial debut with the 1982 film Ente Mohangal Poovaninju. He is most popular for the 1995 film Sphadikam. His other well known films include Poomukhappadiyil Ninneyum Kaathu (1986), Iyer the Great (1990), and Olympian Anthony Adam (1999). Personal LifeBhadran Matel was born on 22 November 1952, and moved to Chennai from Kerala at an early age to make his mark in the South film industry. He is married to Tessy, an air hostess. They have two sons, Jerry and Teby, and a daughter Amly. He lives in Palai with his family. His father's cousins are Indian film producer Hari Pothen and Indian actor, director, writer, and producer Pratap K. Pothen. CareerBhadran's career has spanned over 32 years. He is formally trained in music and won many accolades during his academic years for acting in plays and writing. He always aspired to become a great film director. Bhadran believed that a good director must also be a musician, singer, actor and writer. His struggle to gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive industry bore fruit when he got the opportunity to work as the 8th Assistant Director for Hariharan on Rajahamsam under the banner of Supriya, the production house. Beginning with that film, he assisted Hariharan in 14 films, progressing from an apprentice to an associate director. The first movie under his direction was released in 1982. Ente Mohangal Poovaninju starring Shankar, Mohanlal, Menaka, Kala Ranjini received immense critical appreciation and was popular with audiences. Bhadran's films drew inspiration from the lives of common people, blended with creative surrealism. Changatham (Malayalam) was released in 1983 starring Mammootty, Mohanlal, Madhavi was released and made ripples on the mainstream cinematic landscape. Bhadran focussed on making 2-3 quality movies per year.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} In his early years, when his directorial career was nascent, he acted in his self-directed venture Prem Nazirine Kanmanilla',' which was released in 1983. Spadikam (Prism), released in 1995, was an action drama movie written and directed by Bhadran. The title was chosen to depict the flickering nature of people who keep changing and adapting themselves to exploit situations to suit their needs. The prism splits the white light into a spectrum of seven vibrant colours. Similarly, the star of the movie Thomas Chacko, a village rowdy played by Mohanlal, transforms himself into various characters to face different situations. The film was the highest grossing film in Kerala in 1995, and collected around INR 8 Crores. It was also the longest running movie of 1995 and ran for 225 days, winning the Kerala State Film Award for Best Actor and Filmfare Award for Best Actor. Spadikam which depicts parents standing in the way of their children's dreams, was Bhadran's most successful commercial film apart from being one of the highest-grossing movies of Malayalam cinema, gaining cult status in Kerala's movie culture. The theme of Idanazhiyil Oru Kaalocha was a critical failure. The plot is that a teenage boy falls in love with an elderly lady, played by Vineeth and Karthika respectively. Iyer the Great, starring Mamoothy and addressing a train accident in Peruman made it a landmark movie in the Malayalam film scene. FilmographyAs Director
