என்னுடைய அருமை நண்பர் திரு ஸ்ரீகாந்த் அவர்கள் மறைவு எனக்கு மிகவும் வருத்தமளிக்கிறது. அவருடைய ஆத்மா சாந்தியடையட்டும்.

Actor Kamal Haasan also took to social media as he remembered Srikanth as an all-around performer as the protagonist, villain and character.

கதாநாயகன், வில்லன், குணச்சித்திரப் பாத்திரங்கள் என ஆல்ரவுண்ட் நடிப்புக் கலைஞராகத் திகழ்ந்த ஸ்ரீகாந்த், தீவிரமான இலக்கிய வாசகராகவும் ஜெயகாந்தனின் ஆப்த சிநேகிதராகவும் இருந்தார். இன்று தன் இயக்கங்களை நிறுத்திக்கொண்டார். இதய கனத்தோடு வழியனுப்பிவைப்போம்.
