Haasan's
period
crime
drama
Hey
Ram
has
turned
16,
and
the
star
went
down
memory
lane,
reminiscing
some
of
the
best
moments
of
the
film
and
thanked
his
actors
and
fans.
"Touched
by
'Hey
Ram'
fans
celebrating
16yrs.
Remember
all
who
made
it
possible.
Especially
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Bharat
Shah
(sic)," Kamal
posted
on
his
Twitter
page
on
Thursday.
The
film's
semi-fictional
plot
revolved
around
India's
partition
and
the
assassination
of
Mahatma
Gandhi.
On
Friday,
Kamal
specially
remembered
the
role
essayed
by
actor
Mohan
Gokhale,
who
passed
away
while
shooting
for
the
film.
The
role
was
later
offered
to
Atul
Kulkarni.
"Mohan
Gokhale.
After
sculpting
Abhyankar
beyond
my
expectation
died.
I
reshot
with
Atul
K,
who
won
the
National
Award.
Thanks
to
Mrs.
Gokhale
(sic),"
Kamal
wrote,
adding
that
he
wishes
to
showcase
late
Mohan's
performance
from
the
film
to
all.
"A
day
before
he
died
I
told
him
he
might
win
awards
for
his
role.
For
those
who
have
no
clue
what
I
am
lamenting,
the
film
was
'Hey
Ram' and
Mr.
Gokhale
died
after
completing
90
percent
of
his
work.
Loved
MG
(sic),"
he
said.

The
film
had
music
by
legendary
composer
Ilayaraja.
Kamal
said
Ilayaraja's
score
was
a
"case
study
in
film-making".
"The
happier
note
to
making
of
'Hey
Ram'
came
from
Ilayaraja
who
rescued
the
music
of
'Hey
Ram'
from
wrong
hands
(sic)," he
added.
Written
and
directed
by
Kamal,
the
film
featured
an
ensemble
cast
of
Rani
Mukerji,
Hema
Malini,
Abbas,
Girish
