A simple man at heart with a fantastic sense of comedy. Had the privilege of working with him in one of the best of my career, Michael Madana Kama Rajan. Rest in peace Sir. You have left behind a legacy and large shoes which won't be filled by anyone.. we will miss you. Om Shanthi," wrote Khusbhu through her X handle.

While the late legend made his directorial debut with the Telugu film, Neeti Nijayiti (1972), his Tamil debut came with Dikkatra Parvathi (1974).
Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, who was not only known for making films across a variety of genres, he was also known for his collaborations with Kamal Haasan.
