Suhasini Mani Ratnam, who has always been a synonymous to smile, is all smiles now. Reason- the second edition of ‘Evergreen 80s’, a reunion of stars of the 1980s organised by her in Chennai on Sunday, was a huge success.

From Rajinikanth to Chiranjeevi to Mohanlal to Ambarish, top actors of all four south Indian languages marked their presence at the meet, hosted by Suhasini by joining hands with Lissy Priyadarshan.

“It was beautiful. This is the second time for us to come together. The theme for the event was black and green and we were dressed accordingly. It was a memorable evening which we would cherish forever,” Suhasini says.

Khushboo, who too was present at the event, says, “We were not like stars. We were like school children, who would be thrilled to meet their pals after a break. Imagine Rajini sir sitting on the floor and chatting with us.” She is also happy that she met her first hero Venkatesh at the event.

Sources have it that Ramya Krishnan, Khushbhoo and Radha, all top heroines of the yesteryear, danced for the chartbuster of their days ‘Nila adu vaanathu mele…’ from ‘Nayagan’.

The two big personalities who had not attended the reunion were Kamal Hassan and Mammootty. “Because Kamal was traveling and Mammootty was on Ramzan fasting,” sources said.

Others who took part include Karthik, Prabhu, Arjun, Sarath Kumar, Radhika, Mohan, Prathap Pothen, Mukesh, Bhanuchander, Suresh, Naresh, Shobana, Poornima Bhagyaraj, Nadhiya and Ambarish’s wife Sumalatha.
