Girish Karnad passes away: Master Manjunath revisits fond memories of working with him during Malgudi Days
FirstpostFormer child actor Manjunath, more popular known with the prefix ‘Master’, shared a warm, loving relationship with the late Girish Karnad in the 1980s. In Utsav, the Hindi film directed by the litterateur-actor-playwright, he played Charudatta’s son, and in RK Narayan’s Malgudi Days, directed by the late Shankar Nag, he played Swami, whose strict father was essayed eloquently by Mr Karnad. We would play when not shooting, and in the evening, we would be taken to the beach.” Manjunath would go on to play the iconic character of Swami in Malgudi Days, and Mr Karnad would play his father, the deeply traditional man who wielded knowledge of English like a pro. His rich baritone, his very presence…I count myself as fortunate to have had the opportunity to share screen space with him.” After Manjunath bid goodbye to cinema, he did not stay in touch with Mr Karnad, but in the last couple of years, they touched base again, when Manjunath was associated with the Indian Association of Cartoonists.
