K. R. Sachidanandan, who had delivered to the film industry impressive film across various genres is no more. For people who are wondering who he is, you may identify him with his professional name Sachy.
Yes, Sachy, one of the most revered screenwriters of Mollywood has left this world, leaving behind a void in the industry that can never be filled. His films will live forever in our hearts, for he has given movies for everyone - in many different variants of the art.
Remember the famous Sachi-Sethu duo?? That was the starting point of Sachy's career. He started off with Chocolate, a feel-good college romance with Prithviraj and Jayasurya as the leading heroes, directed by Shafi.
Up next, came another thriller Robin Hood, and true to its name, a perfect Robinhood story for the modern times, Sachy-Sethu duo did it for the second time with Prithviraj as the hero, and the project was helmed by Joshiy.
They collaborated with Shafi again for Makeup Man, which featured the struggle of a young man who faces unimaginable trials and tribulations trying to win back the girl he married - an excellent ordinary tale told in an extraordinary style.
Next came Seniors with Vysakh, featuring top heroes - Jayaram, Kunchacko Boban, Biju Menon, Manoj K. Jayan, following which the movie Doubles followed. Seniors was an ege-of-the-seat murder mystery, keeping you glued to the screen because you cannot guess who it is. On the other hand, Doubles with Mammootty and Nadia as twins was interesting flick with Taapsee Pannu in the cast.
After this movie came the separation of the duo, and then Sachy went onto work in movies independently. He collaborated with Joshiy again for Run Baby Run, and Shajoon Kariyal for Chettayees - both of them good family entertainers, until 2015.
2015 saw the birth of Sachy as a director, as he helmed his own script with Prithviraj and Biju Menon. The movie was titled Anarkali. After this, he again worked with Arun Gopy for Ramaleela, Shafi for Sherlock Toms, and Lal's son Jean Paul Lal for the recent blockbuster Driving License.
The magic of Anarkali returned again in 2020, but in a different route. Sachy once again collaborated with Prithviraj and Biju Menon, this time as a director - and the massively successful Ayyappanum Koshiyum was born. The immaculate viewership the movie received is enough proof for its success. This was the last film for the great talent, as he passed away unfortunately yesterday, June 18. Behindwoods offers its deepest condolences to the grieving family of the departed soul - RIP.
