South Indian film industry’s most exclusive club, ‘The 80s stars’, had its get-together at actor Mohanlal’s beachfront property in Injambakkam on East Coast Road on Saturday evening.

Thirty two actors, including screen legends ‘Superstar’ Rajinikanth and ‘Megastar’ Chiranjeevi, were in attendance as ‘Complete Actor’ Mohanlal played the perfect host and even entertained them with a magic show.

This is the fifth such get-together of the actors ever since Suhasini Maniratnam and Lissy Priyadarshan hosted the first get-together for the 80s stars in 2009 and started an annual tradition.

There is, however, one detail that Rajinikanth and late Kannada ‘Superstar’ Vishnu Vardhan emphasised in the very first get-together: “Only actors allowed, no spouse or outsiders.”

Saturday’s party had a Hawaiian theme to it, and every one from Rajinikanth to Chiranjeevi, wore the printed shirts synonymous with the islands.

Leading ladies — of the likes of Revathi, Radhika, Radha, Ambika, Nadiya, Ramya Krishnan, Kushboo, Poornima Bhagyaraj, Lissy Priyadarshan and the organiser Suhasini, also wore Hawaiian style outfits.

Some actors including Kamal Hassan, Nagarjuna and Mammooty have expressed a desire to be part of these parties but have not been able to make it so far.
