Bharath

one
of
the
finest
actors
Indian
cinema
has
ever
seen,
passed
away
on
January
28,
2009
due

Several
eminent
personalities
of
Malayalam
cinema,
including
Mohanlal,
the
lead
actor
of
Lucifer
series,
remembered
the
legend
on
his
death
anniversary.
Murali

the
son
of
Bharath
Gopi
penned
the
story,
screenplay,
and
dialogues
for
Prithviraj
Sukumaran's
directorial
debut
Lucifer.
The
Mohanlal,
starrer,

as
the

highest-grossing
movie
of
the

industry
and
broke
several
pre-existing
records
at
the
box
office.
