He is the son of acclaimed dramaturge and writer, the late Jagathy N. K. Achary.[10]

Jagathy Sreekumar won five Kerala State Film Awards among numerous other awards for his roles in various films. He has also directed two films and written screenplays for two more. His stage name is derived from the neighborhood of Jagathy in Trivandrum from where he hails. He is an outspoken orator holding strong views, quite unlike his onscreen image and his speeches are still popular.

"My father was my strength. He used to take me to movies and bring home scripts of plays for me to read. Being in All India Radio, my father had contacts with stalwarts in this field. He created many opportunities for me to interact with them. This helped me in my career.", says Jagathy Sreekumar about his father.[13] He attended the Higher Secondary School in Cheriyanad, Chengannur, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Botany from Mar Ivanios College, Trivandrum where eminant personalities like K.
