It is a year, June 10 to be precise, since the king of humour, Crazy Mohan passed away. Memories came flooding — about him, his plays and this writer’s interaction with him. Played out to a packed audience at Mylapore Fine Arts in 1974, ‘Crazy Thieves in Palavakkam’ turned out to be a sensational hit and shot Mohan into limelight. Since women were not allowed inside Kumudam premises in those days, Crazy Mohan donned the role of ‘Janaki’ in that play that day. Two days later, the agreement had been signed for the film with Mohan as the script writer.
