Actor Mohanlal has shared an emotional tribute to singer P Jayachandran, following the legendary artist's passing. In his note, Mohanlal wrote:
"My beloved Jayettan has bid us farewell. Jayettan, who will always be remembered as the Bhavagayakan , the mellifluous singer, for generations through songs filled with eternal youthfulness, was like an elder brother to me.
Like every Malayali, I too have cherished his voice ever since it graced us with the song 'Manjalayil Mungi Thorthi' and kept it close to my heart. Jayettan would often visit my home and sing my mother’s favourite songs to her. He always held me close, like a younger brother.
Though he only sang a few songs for me in films, I consider it a blessing that those songs were embraced by people so dearly.
My heartfelt tributes to Jayettan, who retained the youthfulness in his voice till the end and gave this country timeless romantic melodies."
