#KVAnand is a good friend of @Suriya_offl with whom he had worked in three films #Ayan, #Maattraan, and #Kaappaan.
Worked with @shankarshanmugh in #Mudhalvan, #Nayak, #Boys, and #Sivaji.
A frequent collaborator of @Jharrisjayaraj & @sureshsubha. Devastating news for all of them

Most of us would've seen Ayan, Mudhalvan & Sivaji multiple times, and would continue doing so on TV & online. Such is the joy & entertainment level of those films! As the director of Ayan & cinematographer of the other two, #KVAnand sir would be remembered forever! #RIPKVAnand pic.twitter.com/W09BQTd4ER
