Madhan Bob

**S. Krishnamoorthy** (19 October 1953 – 2 August 2025), better known by his screenname **Madhan Bob**, was a popular comedian and Tamil film actor from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. He started his film career as a musician and became an actor instead. Apart from appearing in supporting roles in Tamil films he also appears in the Sun TV comedy show _Asathapovathu Yaaru_ as one of the judges. His debut film was _Vaaname Ellai_. It was Madan Bob who first taught _Maragathamani_ music.

He was eighth child in his family, so he was named Krishnamurthy which also happened to be his uncle’s name and there was a lot of confusion in the house, so they changed his name to Madan. his brother’s name is Padmanabhan a.k.a. Babu. Both started a music group called ‘Madan and Babu’. In time, the Babu became Bob and that’s how director Balachander introduced him in his first film.

Bob died of cancer on 2 August 2025 in Adyar, Chennai, India at the age of 71.
