"KV Anand sir, you were one of the most passionate and disciplined filmmakers I had the honour to work with. You launched me in Tamil cinema and for that, I will be forever grateful. Thank you for everything sir. Cinema will not be the same without you. Rest in Peace sir."

KV Anand is survived by his wife and daughter.
