Major Ravi played the role of a naval officer in the film Anarkali. Now Major Ravi is talking about his relationship with the film’s director Sachy. He said this in an interview given to a Malayalam news channel. Major Ravi says that he met Sachy two days before his death. The relationship with Sachy started from Anarkali. After the film, while sitting in a flat in Kundannoor, one day Sachi called me. Ask if he’s at home. So he came home and told me to take a token advance. I had Rs 1000 in my pocket. At that time it was 1000 rupees. Major Ravi recalls that he took a Rs 1000 note from my pocket and told me that we are going to film. Didn’t Raviet tell a love story of Marcos that day, I got it. Sachy told me that we are going to do a film. The man took the money and left. I had a good relationship with Sachi. He was like a brother to me. I was very worried when he was ill, “Major Ravi said. So in Covid times, Sachy calls me and asks if I can come and see you. I have prepared the consent form. It was necessary. I could have avoided it if I wanted to. I was driving myself. We talked for about an hour at home. Sachy lit a cigarette and sat down to drink tea. Then he said, OK, let’s see. So I went. The next day, he was admitted to the hospital for the second surgery. But not on the third day. The news of Sachin’s death came soon after. Why did Sachi call two days ago, we haven’t done a film together, we don’t have a scriptwriter-director relationship. But I don’t know what, we have liked each other since the beginning, “Major Ravi said. Sachi passed away on June 18, 2020, at Jubilee Mission Hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest.
