Director Shankar made his debut with Gentleman in 1993 and the film was a big success. He followed it up with Kadhalan and Jeans, which were again massively successful films.
The common factor between all these films was its writer, Balakumaran, who passed away yesterday. The Enthiran director has now taken to Twitter to share his condolence message.
He tweeted, "What a lovely times we had in the discussions of Gentleman and what a memorable contribution in writing dialogues for that movie Bala sir RIP. My deepest condolences to his family."
