Cinemaazi remembers John Abraham on his birth anniversary
11 Aug 1937
Revered as one of the greatest Indian directors of all time, John Abraham was a Malayali filmmaker and writer. Born on this day, 11th August 1937, he was highly acclaimed as an avant-garde director, who aspired to make films through the tangent of 'people's cinema'. His 1986 film, Amma Ariyan (Translation: for the information of my mother), is the only South Indian film to feature in the British Film Institute's Top 10 Indian Films' List.
