THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Mohanlal arrived to pay heartfelt tributes to see his beloved Venu Chettan. Lal reached Thampu, Venu’s residence in Thiruvananthapuram around 12.30 pm. Lal stood in front of the stairs for a moment and finally saw the body of his colleague. His eyes were full. He recollected the memories of working together for many years. After paying tributes to the versatile actor, he sat there for a while and left the place after consoling Venu's wife and children. While leaving, the actor shared his memories with Nedumudi to the media.
‘I’m not able to say anything. There are no words to express how shocked and devastated I am. We have lost a great talent. I have many years of friendship with him. We went to call Venu Chettan to act in my first movie. Our relation started from there and was there till Arat. It was not an actor-actor relationship. A relation above a brother. Not a loss; It's another word, I can’t say,' Lal started walking as his voice broke.
