The Aadai actress thanked Sachy for creating the character Renuka in Run Baby Run, the female lead character played by her. Amala Paul wrote, “A shocker after a shocker! Ace screenwriter, director and a good friend ~ Sachy is no more. Sachy gave me one of my biggest hits in the Malayalam movie industry with Run Baby Run. The character Renuka lives on in everyone's heart! Sachy knew everything about everything, he was the one who introduced me to Osho and we spent a lot of time talking about life beyond the movies during Run Baby Run.

Just when I wanted to rekindle my friendship with him, he's left the mortal world! He entered this world, mastered his art and moved on to another dimension. With fond memories of our times together, I wish you farewell my dear friend. Goodbye, until we meet again.” Check out her Instagram post below:
