Malayalam actor Anil Nedumangad, best known for his roles in Ayyappanum Koshiyum, Kamattipaadam and Paavada, drowned in Malankara dam in Thodupuzha on Friday. He had stepped into the Malankara dam reservoir to swim with his friends.
Nedumangad was in Thodupuzha for the shooting of a film in which Joju George is playing the lead.
