Suhasini turned 50 -Mani Ratnam's surprise gift for Suhasini

Mani Ratnam likes to surprise. Not just the audience, but his wife, Suhasini, as well. The ace filmmaker ensured that good friends of the couple were invited to a surprise birthday bash on Weekend night for Suhasini who turned 50 on August 15.

"Most of their heroes, including Madhavan, Suriya and Vikram were present on the occasion as well as were happy for Mani and Suhasini, " says a source.

And there is more! There was a special lunch that the director had arranged upon Independence Day, when the actress celebrated her 50th birthday. A source states, "He (Mani) had taken special care in organising the get-together. In truth, he had personally called and messaged all the invitees and made sure these were present, so that Suhasini is happy. "

Singers S P Balasubramaniam as well as P Susheela, who were present on the occasion, entertained guests by crooning a few old songs that made Mani and Suhasini go down memory lane. "SPB even included a segment by which he 'acted' like MS Viswanathan and that had everyone, especially Mani as well as Suhasini, in splits, " reveals the source.
