‘Crazy’ Mohan, prominent theatre artiste in Tamil theatre, and ace scriptwriter for Tamil films, suffered an acute heart attack in Chennai, and was declared dead at 2 p.m., after efforts to resuscitate him at Kauvery Hospital, failed. He was 67.
Born in 1952, as Mohan Rangachari, ‘Crazy’ was an epithet that he acquired after his popular play ‘Crazy Thieves in Palavakkam’ (which subsequently was run on television as a series too) became a runaway hit. It set the tone for the rest of his career, as Crazy Mohan and his brother Balaji wrote and starred in a number of plays of similar tone and tenor, and always had their audience in splits.
Unable to bear the pain of the sudden loss, many celebrities who worked with him and who admired expressed their sorrow through tweets. Meanwhile many people shared epic dialogues of the veteran which are still instigating us to laugh while reading. Check out them here :

Crazy Mohan sir, a true legend.! What a loss to the world of Tamil humour. We will miss you sir.— RJ Balaji (@RJ_Balaji) June 10, 2019
Tamil Humour lost its Bheem boy! Tenzing of quick wit and wordplay whose lines shall stand the test of time even in the amnesiac social media world. He was declared no more at 2 PM. What a fitting tribute to #TwotoTwotoTwoTwo! Take things easy, life is crazy! #WhistlePodu 🦁 pic.twitter.com/X4Ym2z0Og8
