Actor/playwright Crazy Mohan’s magnum opus Chocolate Krishna will be performed for the 1100th time on Sunday at 6.30 p.m. at Vani Mahal, T. Nagar. Actor Kamal Haasan will be the chief guest at the event that will also celebrate Mohan’s 71st birth anniversary.
Actor Crazy Balaji said the troupe had been performing the play since 2008. “Mohan acted in 992 performances, and after his demise, the role of Lord Krishna was taken over by Ravishankar. Since Mr. Kamal Haasan told us that we should not stop performing, we are training a few youngsters for the main roles. In a couple of years, a young team will enact the plays written by Mohan,” he said.
The Crazy Mohan Excellence Award will be presented to mridangam maestro Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman on the occasion. So far, several personalities, including musician Gayathri Gireesh, actor Kathadi Ramamurthi, and director Mouli, have received the award.
