Sreenivasan: Kerala Bids Farewell to a Legend

  • On December 20, Sreenivasan died while being taken for routine dialysis, and he was cremated with full state honours at Kandanad, Udayamperoor on December 21, 2025 at 10 am.
  • He had been unwell for years, underwent heart surgery in 2022, and Sathyan Anthikad said, `I used to visit him once every two weeks. Though he had recently undergone surgery and had difficulty walking, his mind and thought process were very sharp,` Anthikad added.
  • Public homage drew hundreds to Town Hall on Saturday before his body was brought to Kandanad around 4.45 pm for last rites.
  • Tributes poured in from Mohanlal, Rajinikanth, Mammootty, Suriya, and V D Satheesan, amid his 48-year career with 54 screenplays and two directed films.
