Mike Mohan extends his condolences to the late legendary singer

Mike Mohan and SP Balasubramaniam go a long way, much before the former took the musical world by storm in 80’s. Mohan’s association with the late singer started much earlier, in 1980’s. Mike Mohan’s rise was meteoric in Tamil filmdom, he was the second rung of Tamil stars after Rajinikanth for a decade. His dazzling screen innings is still fondly remembered by fans with the songs which was mostly crooned by SPB. In all Ilayaraaja songs, the music would be the domineering ingredient of the magic. But, when it comes to this combination, SPB always gives a tough fight in staking claim to the outcome. Through the 1980s and the decade after, SPB’s became the default voice for several top-notch heroes such as Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. That actor Mohan came to be known as “Mike Mohan” due to the innumerous times he sang in cinema in SPB’s voice is testament to the singer’s voice, which was a character in its own right.

Expressing his grief, “Today is a black day for music. Because the singing moon has disappeared from us. I can’t believe we don’t have someone today who made us all happy by singing over 45,000 songs. I do not know what would fill this loss. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Glad to think that he also sang some songs for me during his tour. His voice will be fresh from the first song to the last sung. As well as there will be someone that is the enemy of everyone. As far as I know the man who has no enemies is SBP sir.It is very rare. He is so friendly with everyone. All the heroes of the eighties have SBP songs. He would have sung in my films too. What is the magic of his voice, SBP. Sir whoever sings is like they sing themselves. That’s how it turned out for me. I am proud that I have acted in many songs that he has sung. He will continue to give us joy through that voice for many hundreds of years to come. I pray to God that he attains Atma Shanti ..My deepest condolences to his family.”
