Ranjith Sankar paid tribute to late director-screenwriter Lohithadas on the 11th anniversary of his death. Ranjith Sankar, who received the first Lohithadas Puraskaram, for the best screenplay of his maiden directorial film, Passenger, says that that was the recognition he most valued.
“11 years since he left us. Never had the privilege to meet him. But still consider this as the biggest recognition I received. Thanks for all the great movies and the inspirations Lohi sir,” the Njan Marykutty-director posted on social media. Lohithadas, whose screenplays include Kireedam and Thaniyavarthanam, is revered as one of the finest screenwriters of Malayalam cinema.
