Today was undoubtedly a black day in Tamil and Indian cinema as two stalwarts Girish Karnad and Crazy Mohan passed away leaving a great void. The similarity between the two is that both were known more as playwrights but have also shined as actors. Girish Karnad's first Tamil movie was 'Naan Adimai Illai' starring Rajinikanth and has also acted with Kamal Haasan in 'Guna' among many others.

Coincidently Girish Karnad and Crazy Mohan who passed away on the same day have worked together in only one film 'Ratchagan' in which the former played the main villain and the latter wrote the dialogues. Celebrities all over India and fans from across the globe are pouring in tributes to both the talented artistes.
