Kerala CM, Mammootty, Mohanlal, Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan Pay Glowing Tributes To Sreenivasan

Chief Minister Pinrayi Vijayan said Sreenivasan’s demise is an irreplaceable loss for Malayalam cinema. A remarkable talent who excelled in every aspect of filmmaking is now gone. Very few filmmakers have managed to portray the essence of the common man on the big screen, engaging the audience with humor and thought-provoking moments. Sreenivasan has made his mark in cinema by breaking many long-standing stereotypes.

Opposition Leader VD Satheeshan:

Sreenivasan wasn’t just about cinema; it was life itself. He redefined heroes, expressed uncomfortable truths, made us laugh, think and feel. A rare genius, a humanitarian spirit, a timeless legacy. Farewell Sreeniyetta.

Rajinikanth:

Superstar Rajinikanth paid a heartfelt tribute to Sreenivasan, describing him as “an excellent actor and a very good human being”. “I was shocked to hear about the passing away of my dear friend Sreenivasan. We were classmates at the Film Institute and he was truly a remarkable actor and a wonderful human being. May his soul rest in peace.”

Very good:

Actor Mammootty expressed his deep condolences over Sreenivasan’s death. Sreenivasan was an extraordinary talent as an actor, screenwriter and director and his contribution to Malayalam cinema will be remembered forever. The actor said that Sreenivasan had a profound impact on his life and career and they worked together for many years in the Malayalam film industry.

-Mohanlal:

Actor Mohanlal expressed deep sorrow over the loss of Sreenivasan and described him as someone who had a unique perspective on cinema and life. He shared that he tried to visit him recently, but could not go because Sreenivasan was in intensive care after his leg surgery. Mohanlal emphasized that their bond goes beyond acting, shaped by many emotional moments, and creates a strong bond with his life and family.

Priyadarshan:

Director Priyadarshan said that Sreenivasan only needed human hearts to find his stories and no one could laugh at him like Sreenivasan. We entered the world of cinema together with common dreams. Much of our bond developed off sets, through countless days and nights of story discussions, moments of rapport, and even fights. The kindness he carried in his thoughts and actions was truly his hallmark. Priyadarshan wrote: Farewell to my soul mate who gave me cinema and taught me the lessons of cinema.

Kemal Hasan:

Kamal Hasan said that some artists entertain, some enlighten and some provoke. #Sreenivasan did it all with a genuine smile and a responsible laugh. Best regards to an extraordinary mind. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Shashi Tharoor:

MP Shashi Tharoor wrote that Malayalam cinema would never be the same without #Sreenivasan’s genius. From the biting satire of “Sandesham” to the heartfelt emotions of “Vadakkunokkiyantram”, he showed us how to laugh at ourselves while prompting deeper thoughts. A true master of his craft, he redefined what it means to be a “hero” on the big screen and proved himself to be a talented director.
