MT Saju, October 25, 2017: The Times of India

Born on March 28, 1948, in Kerala's Kozhikode, Sasi began his career as an art director. His first movie `Ulsavam' in 1975, which dealt with water scarcity in a village after the construction of a dam, evoked tremendous response.

Veteran Malayalam director I V Sasi was best known for his films ` Avalude Ravukal' and `Devasuram'.

In 1978, `Avalude Ravukal' portrayed the life of a teenage sex-worker. The movie handled sex in a liberal way .The male-gaze saw it as a softporn movie, but after television repeatedly telecast the movie, it was accepted as a “product of substance“.

Sasi directed more than 150 movies, and a majority of them clocked more than 100 days. For many actors, he was a great friend. “My friend for 45 years IV Sasi is no more. The industry and I mourn a great technician,“ Kamal Haasan tweeted.
