Tamil cinema's iconic directors spent a lovely evening yesterday. The legendary maker Mani Ratnam and his wife Suhasini hosted directors Shankar, Gautham Menon, AR Murugadoss, Sasi, Lingusamy, Karthik Subbaraj and Lokesh Kanagaraj in their home.

A picture from their time together was shared by Shankar and Karthik Subbaraj on social media. It is now doing rounds on the internet. Shankar captioned that they all caught up with their memories and listened to Ilaiyaraaja and AR Rahman songs. He cherished the evening and thanked Mani and Suhasini for their hospitality.

Sharing the image, Shankar wrote, "Thank you Mani sir for this truly special evening! Catching up with these fine and celebrated filmmakers, sharing memories while making them, vibing to some evergreen #Illayaraja and @arrahman songs sung by @karthikmusicexp…I feel these moments are the true wealth that we’ve earned! And thank you @suhasinihasan for the hospitality! #ManiRatnam #Vetrimaaran #DirectorSasi"
