Writer P F Mathew said Shaji was a legend who changed his life.
Culture Minister Saji Cherian, Kerala State Chalachitra Academy interim chairman Prem Kumar paid homage to Shaji.
Adoor remembers the first time Shaji came to visit him seeking advice on how to gain admission to the Pune Film Institute.
The project was supposed to be produced by Amitabh Bachchan’s production company (ABCL). But the company suffered losses after organising the Miss World event in Bengaluru and eventually shut down.
Mohanlal, who worked closely with Shaji N Karun in some of Malayalam cinema’s landmark films, shared a heartfelt tribute on social media.
'Piravi' was about an old father's eternal wait for his dead son. In the opening moments, nature behaves like an animal that has sensed an impending disaster.
Jayaram recalled how Shaji N. Karun shared not just the prominent aspects but even the seemingly trivial details of Thrithala Keshavan’s life.
Even as Malayalam cinema evolved, Shaji N Karun stood apart — a filmmaker who refused to chase trends, instead trusting the slow, patient rhythm of life to guide his art.
'Piravi' was Shaji N Karun's first directorial work and went on to win him both international and national acclaim.
Shaji N Karun’s film Piravi, which won the 1989 Camera d’Or-Mention d’honneur, showcased the horrors of the 1975 Emergency to an entirely new generation.
