Sridevi, Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth in a still from Moondru Mudichu directed by K Balachander
Bollywood actress Sridevi paid tribute to renowned film director K Balachander who died of a cardiac arrest yesterday at the age of 84.
The actress, who got her break as a leading lady in Tamil cinema with Mr Balachander's Moondru Mudichu, wrote on Twitter:
K Balachander achieved a casting coup with his 1976 hit film Moondru Mudichu starring the actress. All of 13, Sridevi played the object of two men's affections, the good-hearted Balaji, played by Kamal Haasan, and the womanizing Prasath, played by Rajinikanth.
