Veteran producer Sriram of Aalayam Productions passed away early this morning due to health-related issues. Sriram collaborated with filmmaker Mani Ratnam and produced some super hit films together under the banner of Aalayam Productions. The list of films include Sarathkumar's Dasarathan, Vijayakanth's Chathriyan, Prashanth's Thiruda Thiruda, Arvind Swami's Bombay, and Ajith's Aasai. Out of those, Bombay and Thiruda Thiruda were directed by Mani Ratnam himself, while the rest were directed by others.
