It turned out to be a grim morning we the news of legendary director Mahendran hit the media. Have we all not cried our eyes out watching the brilliant film ‘Mullum Malarum’ or engrossed seeing films like Johnny, UthiriPookal, NenjathaiKillathey, Metti etc. He was the director who made stars actors and he had his own kind of suave, charisma and knows to attract his audience through his simple yet magical films. Celebrities paid homage to this legend:

#Mahendran
He spoke less and his films spoke more.
To me his films were of great inspiration
How can I forget the sleepless night I had after watching “uthripookal”
May his soul rest on peace.
