I'm deeply saddened and disturbed by the demise of our veteran director #Mahendran Sir. A very humane personality and one of the finest director of our times. #RIPMahendran.
Interestingly, after finding success as a director, J Mahendran made his acting debut with the Vijay starrer Theri which became a big hit. Thereafter, he acted in Nimir and impressed with his performance again. Earlier this year, he was seen essaying a key role in the Pongal hit Petta. Thereafter, he was seen in Boomerang which marked his last appearance on the big screen.
We offer our condolences to his family members and hope that they stay strong in this difficult time.
