Mohanroop, who breathed his last on Tuesday, was bid a final goodbye to his family and friends, with hardly anyone turning up from the film industry. He was 56.
Talking about his uncle's death, Mohanroop's nephew Harish told IANS: "His wife had passed away a few years back. His son is doing his engineering in the capital city. Since my uncle was frequently travelling, his daughter is in a boarding school near here. Ever since his wife passed away, he was more or less alone in his home."
Mohanroop's "Vettah" was one film which featured present-day superstars Mammootty and Mohanlal together, and it received a warm reception upon its release.
"His first film was successful and if you look back into his career, he did not do many films... A handful commercial films and he did so many documentaries. (Before his death) He was working on the script of a Tamil/Malayalam film on the topic of atrocities towards animals, but now everything is over.
"Also, very few people from the industry came," Harish rued.
