The Veteran Passed away


On March 19th (ie) yesterday a master and a veteran actor who was born in Kollankod in Palakad district passed away. The person is none other than Raghuvaran. He is a great artist who has done all sorts of roles, but his name got familiar as a villain. his masterpieces include Puriyadha Pudhir in which the dialogue "I KNOW I KNOW" can never be forgotten. Then his acting as "Mark Antony" in Thalaivar's Baasha are the films which earned him name and fame in Tamil film industry. Now he recently completed the film "Yaradi Nee Mohini" where he is the father of Dhanush. The last film he signed up was Indira Vizha. He has acted in Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi films. My favorite's of him are Poovizhi Vassalile, Baasha, Puriyada Pudhir. His wife Rohini who was granted divorce as she did not like his addiction to drinking. He has a son. So Tamil cinema has lost yet another wonderful artist. He died of cardiac arrest at a young age of 49. I am sure all of them in Tamil film industry will miss him very much. I too miss him.
