Mohanlal shares his working experience with Sivaji Ganesan

Yesterday marked the 18th death anniversary of Tamil actor Sivaji Ganesan. Fans, film industry personalities and politicians poured in their tributes to the legend. Malayalam cinema superstar Mohanlal paid his tribute by sharing his working experience with Sivaji Ganesan. The two had worked together in the Prathap Pothan directorial ‘Oru Yathra Mozhi’, which was released back in 1997.

Mohanlal’s tweet reads,

I was blessed and honoured to share the screen with Shri.Shivaji Ganeshan sir .More than an actor he was like a family member to me. 18 years have passed still he remains in our hearts with all those fond memories . Prayers

‘Oru Yathra Mozhi’, penned by Priyadarshan (story) and John Paul (screenplay) was also dubbed in Tamil as ‘Payanathin Mozhi’. Mohanlal and Sivaji shared great chemistry in the film. In real life as well, the two were very close to each other. Mohanlal shares good rapport with Sivaji’s son, actor Prabhu as well.

Prabhu and Mohanlal had acted together in the Priyadarshan classic ‘Kalapani’. After 23 years, the trio is reuniting for ‘Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham’, an ambitious film that is expected to hit screens next year.
