Popular stage artist and film actor Cheenu Mohan passes away

Actor and theatre artiste Cheenu Mohan passed away on Thursday morning, following a massive heart attack. He was 62.
Veteran playwright-actor Crazy Mohan shared the news on Facebook. He wrote, “It is with Heartfelt pain, We in Crazy Creations mourn the untimely passing away of CHEENU MOHAN this morning due to massive heart attack. He made millions forget their worries and laugh their heart out. As a trouper since inception of Crazy Creations in 1979, he reveled in well knit friendship with each and every one in the troupe. Cremation to take place on 29.12.18 in Anna Nagar. We pray for his AATHMA to get POORNA SHANTHI and NARGATHI.”

Cheenu Mohan began his career as an actor during the late 1980s. He acted in films including Varusham Padhinaaru (1989), Mani Ratnam’s Anjali (1990) and Thalapathi (1991). The actor then went on to portray the lead role in plays directed by Crazy Mohan.

Crazy Mohan’s plays are incomplete without the characters Madhu – Cheenu. If Balaji made a name for himself playing Madhu, it was Mohan who stole the show as Cheenu. The duo was hailed as Laurel and Hardy of Tamil stage.
