Grew up watching films he wrote and acted in. Been a neighbour since 2016. My fondest moments here have been watching Mr. Subramaniam and his son Jahaan play downstairs. Jahaan passed away in February, now his father is gone. Heartbreaking. Hope they continue playing upstairs. https://t.co/go4rvzI0tA
