Mani’s surprise for Suhasini

The director threw several bashes to celebrate his wife’s 50th birthday
Mani Ratnam loves to surprise. Not just the audience, but his wife, Suhasini, as well. The ace filmmaker ensured that close friends of the couple were invited to a surprise birthday bash on Sunday night for Suhasini who turned 50 on August 15. “Most of his heroes, including Madhavan, Suriya and Vikram were present on the occasion and were happy for Mani and Suhasini,” says a source.
And there was more! There was a special lunch that the director had arranged on Independence Day, when the actress celebrated her 50th birthday.A source says, “He (Mani) had taken special care in organizing the get-together. In fact, he had personally called and messaged all the invites and made sure they were present, so that Suhasini is happy.” The lunch was a ‘kalyana sappadu’ according to another source and Mani made sure he welcomed each guest personally.
Singers S P Balasubramaniam and P Susheela, who were present on the occasion, entertained guests by crooning a couple of old songs that made Mani and Suhasini go down memory lane. “SPB even included a segment in which he ‘acted’ like M S Viswanathan and that had everyone, especially Mani and Suhasini, in splits,” reveals the source.
