'''''After the Thin Man''''', starring [[William Powell]], [[Myrna Loy]], and [[James Stewart (actor)|James Stewart]], is the [[1936 in film|1936]] sequel to the film ''[[The Thin Man (film)|The Thin Man]]''. The movie presents Powell and Loy as [[Dashiell Hammett]]'s characters [[Nick and Nora Charles]]. The film was directed by [[W. S. Van Dyke]] and also featured [[Elissa Landi]], [[Joseph Calleia]], [[Jessie Ralph]], [[Alan Marshall]], and [[Penny Singleton]] (as Dorothy McNulty).


==Plot==
==Biography==
===Early life===
Nick and Nora Charles return from vacation to their home in [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]] on New Years Eve, where Nora's stuffy family expect the couple to join them for a formal dinner. Nick is despised by Nora's Aunt Katherine, as his immigrant heritage and experience as a "flat foot" are considered below Nora. The true reason for their invitation is that Nora's cousin Selma's ne'er-do-well husband Robert has been missing. Nick is coerced into a little quiet detective work for the family.
Jayaram Subramaniyam born in a family of [[Palakkad Iyyers]] in [[Perumbavoor]], [[Kerala]],completed his education from Sri Sankara College, [[Kaladi]]. When he was studying there, he won several awards in state level for [[Impressionist (entertainment)|mimicry]]. That made him to make the decision to make art as his profession.


===Career===
They easily find Robert at a Chinese nightclub, where he's been conducting an affair with Polly, the star performer. He extorts money from Selma's unrequited love, David ([[James Stewart (actor)|James Stewart]]), in exchange for leaving Selma permanently. Unknown to Robert, Polly and the nightclub's owner, Phil Dancer, plan to grift the money and dispose of him. After being paid off, and returning home for some clothes, Robert is shot at the stroke of midnight. David finds Selma standing over Robert and hurriedly disposes of her gun. Despite this, the police determine that she's the prime suspect, and her fragile mental state only strengthens the case. Selma insists that she never fired her gun, and Nick is now obliged to investigate and determine the true murderer.

After college, he joined ''Kalabhavan'', a well known professional [[Impressionist (entertainment)|mimicry]] troupe. He was spotted by the noted [[malayalam]] [[film director]], [[Padmarajan]] who gave Jayaram his launching pad with the 1988 film ''Aparan''. Padmarajan became his [[mentoring|mentor]] in his film career till the former's death in January, 1991.


Within few years since his debut, He acted in several critically acclaimed films like ''Moonnampakkam'' (1988),''Mazhavilkavadi'' (1989), ''Thooval Sparsham'' (1990), ''Keli'' (1991),''Thooval Kottaram'' (1996), ''Veendum Chila Veettukaryangal''(1999) and Sesham (2002). His association with directors [[Sathyan Anthikkad]], [[Rajasenan]] created many commercilly successful movies.
As suspects pile up, schemes and double-crosses are found and two more murders occur. Lt. Abrams ([[Sam Levene]], making his series debut) readily accepts Nick's assistance. As in [[The Thin Man (film)|the previous film]], the true murderer is the least likely suspect, betrayed by a trivial slip-up during a final interrogation and denouement featuring all the suspects. The case solved, and once again traveling by train, Nora reveals to Nick something he hasn't detected yet: they're going to have a baby.


He forayed into [[Tamil cinema|Tamil film industry]] as well, and was moderately successful there. A pick of Tamil films he did are ''Gokulam'', ''Purushalakshanam'', ''Priyanka'', ''Kolangal'', ''Murai Mamman'' and ''Pathini ''. His friendship with [[Kamal Haasan]] is also famous. His role as ''Dr. Kailash'' in Kamal Haasan starrer ''[[Thenali]]'' was well-appreciated.
