Hello
The event was centred around Jayachandran's book 'Varika Gandharva Gayaka', which was written as a tribute to Devarajan Master.
A photo and a note suggesting that P Jayachandran was critically ill and hospitalized were widely circulated on social media.
A prodigious talent, Jayachandran indeed stunned audiences with his return to playback singing after a decades-long hiatus. Even better, he has continued the feat for over the next two decades till now.
The annual honour, named after J C Daniel, who made the first silent movie in Mollywood, comprises a purse of Rs 5 lakh, a citation and a plaque.
