Life is Crazy
10th of June 2019 was truly a dark day for Tamil Film and Theatre Industry for a
great humble soul that has made many happy in their lifetime through his fantastic
scriptwork – Kalaimaamani Thiru. Crazy Mohan Rangachari breathed his last on this very day.
Born in 1952, Mohan`s first stint began when he was studying Engineering. That is
when he wrote the script of “Great Bank Robbery” for an inter-collegiate contest. In
1976 he wrote his first full length play called “ Crazy Thieves in Paalavakkam” thereby earning the moniker “Crazy” to his name. In 1979 he started his own drama troupe Crazy Creation that has staged total of 6500 shows including the popular “Chocolate Krishna”, that alone staged over 1,000 times both in India and abroad. He was also a painter and had an avid interest in writing ‘venba,’ a form of Tamil poetry.
He was the master of one-liners, puns & word play. He was the King of Twitter
even before Twitter was born. Mohan was the only author on stage who brought out the 10-year-old child in every one of us while watching his dramas. As a writer, Mohan was widely popular for his association with Padmabooshan Kamal Haasan which began with
‘Aboorva Sagodarargal’ in 1989, evolved and eventually resulted in movies that became iconic for their comedy like “Panchathanthiram,” “Pammal K Sambandam,” and “Thenaali.” He also penned scripts for several other super hit Kamal Haasan starrer films
like “Avvai Shanmugi”, “Vasool Raja MBBS” and “Michael Madhana Kamarajan”, besides acting in many other movies.
The best tribute to Mohan would be to make people laugh again. With this in mind, under the current COVID-19 lockdown situation, Tokyo Tamil Sangam along with Crazy Creations are proud to stage a special online live tribute on 10th June 2020 with the honorable presence of Padmabooshan Kamal Haasan.
This one of a kind online tribute show, will be shown in multiple social media
platforms. It is one where around 25 Tamil Sangam`s across the world has joined hands to celebrate the life work of such an humble soul. Multiple celebrities like actor Nasser, K.S. Ravikumar, Prabhu Ganesan, Kushbhoo, Dr.G. Gnanasambandam, Santhana Bharathi and others are scheduled to participate in this online tribute show.
This whole idea of an online tribute has come to reality due to the great support of
Maadhu Balaji of Crazy Creation and its core members, Actor Nasser, G. HariNarayanan of Tokyo Tamil Sangam and its core members.
At this online show, Padmabooshan Kamal Haasan will release a Special tribute
song created by Tokyo Tamil Sangam & Pon Malai Pozhudhu (Dubai) to honor the life
work of Crazy Mohan.
Tokyo Tamil Sangam will honor Crazy Creations for their great art work to the
theater industry under Crazy Mohan and their ongoing second innings in his shadows.
There can be thousands of Mohans but there will be only one Crazy Mohan and we can say this not just because of his work in dramas and films but because of the kind of person he was.
Long Live his legacy!
