‘Crazy’ Mohan, prominent Tamil theatre artiste and ace scriptwriter for Tamil films, died on June 10, 2019, after suffering an acute heart attack in Chennai.

Mohan qualified as a mechanical engineer at the College of Engineering, Guindy, in the 1970s. But his calling was elsewhere and he started his own drama troupe Crazy Creations in 1979.

Several plays followed, as also movie scripts and his association with Kamal Hassan led to some hilarious comic sequences in Tamil films including Apoorva Sagodharargal , Sathi Leelavathi , Magalir Mattum , Kadhala Kadhala and Vasool Raja MBBS . Here is a tribute to the multi-faceted genius.
