Kerala bid an emotional farewell to beloved actor Sreenivasan, whose cremation was held in the courtyard of his ancestral home at Kandanad. His sons, actors Vineeth Sreenivasan and Dhyan Sreenivasan, lit the funeral pyre.
Placed beside his mortal remains were a handwritten note and a pen—the note, placed by filmmaker Satyan Anthikad, read: “May goodness come to everyone, always.”
The cremation was held with official honours, and several prominent personalities from the film and political fields attended the ceremony.
Sreenivasan, an irreplaceable presence in Malayalam cinema, stepped into the film industry in 1976 with P.A. Backer’s Manimuzhakkam.
He passed away at 8:25 AM on Saturday at Thrippunithura Taluk Hospital.
Like the heartfelt final lines that appeared at the end of his films, Sreenivasan quietly moved behind the curtain of life, leaving timeless memories etched in the hearts of Malayalis.
