The exact cause of his death isn't immediately clear. Murali's family is yet to issue a statement.

He was the son of theatre artiste and Malayalam actor KU Murali.

Hari Murali starred in movies such as Rasikan, directed by Lal Jose and the Mammootty-starrer Annan Thampi.

He made a mark for himself as a child actor in Rasikan (2004), starring Dileep in the lead. As a kid, he appeared in several Malayalam films, including Madampi, Don, Pattanathil Bhootham and Ulakam Chuttum Valiban. In all, he acted in around 10 movies as a child artiste.

Subsequently, he took a break from acting to focus on education. He did his bachelors in visual effects and began working as a graphic designer in Ernakulam.

He made an appearance in the 2015 action comedy Amar Akbar Anthony starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Jayasurya, Indrajith Sukumaran and Namitha Pramod, before moving away from the arclights.
