Former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and several film industry veterans, including Kamal Haasan, Sathyaraj, Nasser and Goundamani, on Tuesday paid tribute to director and producer Ramanarayanan.
The mortal remains of Mr. Ramnarayan, who passed away at a Singapore hospital on Sunday, were kept at his residence on Nungambakkam.
Mr. Ramanarayanan, apart from being a prolific director and producer who made a name for himself making small-budget films, was also a very influential member of the Tamil film fraternity.
He was the president of the Tamil Nadu Film Producers Council for several years.
