Career

Madan Patel worked as an orchestra singer and managed an orchestra group.[2] He made his debut as a lead actor with Andhra Hendthi (2000) co-starring Ramya Krishna. Regarding his performance, a critic wrote that "Madan Mallu (although a newcomer) has done a decent and good job of playing the role of a hero. His dialogue delivery is neat and pronunciation good. But his make-up is not upto the mark and he needs to improve it in his future movies".[3] He went on to star in Dayal Padmanabhan's Ok Saar Ok (2004).[4][5] He directed and starred in Heegu Unte (2008), which got embroiled in controversy after he pointed a gun at a news photographer.[6][7] He also directed Yarivaanu, based on the life of Nithyananda. The film, which was initially titled Satyanandha, also faced with controversy after Nithyananda filed a defamation suit.[8][9][10] A Telugu remake was also partially shot and a Hindi remake was consider before both were dropped.[11]

He is also active in politics and was the chief of the cultural cell of the Bharatiya Janatha Party.[12]
