Ponvannan (born 12 January 1952) is an Indian film actor, who has played supporting roles throughout his career. He directed the award-winning film, Jamila.He is married to actress, Saranya.


Cinema was never on Ponvannan’s agenda, when he came down to Chennai. “As an avid painter my only dream was to become a drawing master in a school in my hometown, Erode. Of course, writing has always been a passion and we had a literary circle which met regularly.” It was in this regard that he met writer and journalist Valampuri John, which led to a stint with Kovai Thambi’s Motherland Pictures and later on with Bharatiraaja as assistant director. Simultaneously roles kept happening.
