Rajinikanth: I pray to the divine that the soul of the great Tamil luminary, Professor Solomon Pappaiah, who elevated the literary forum from the realm of the educated to the common folk in a populist manner, attains peace.
Vijay Sethupathi: A golden era of the Tamil stage has vanished. The demise of Mr. Solomon Pappiah, who took the forum from home to home, speaking Tamil simply and beautifully to make it understood, is a great loss to Tamil and the Tamil people. His words will live on directly within Tamil. My deepest condolences to his family.
Sivakarthikeyan:There hasn’t been a single festive occasion since my childhood without your voice.During my college days, I never stepped onto a stage without your voice accompanying me.
Sir, in a Tamil society that used to erupt in applause whenever I spoke on stage mimicking your voice and your signature opening ‘Dear elders’, you will forever live on in our hearts through your words and the Tamil language.
This is my tribute as one of your millions of fans.
Prabhu Deva:Deeply saddened by the passing of Solomon Pappayya Sir. A great voice of Tamil, forever remembered.
R.Sararhkumar: Through the channel of that loving voice, Professor Solomon Pappiah entered the hearts and homes of Tamils, transforming platform stages into grand arenas of culture with his sweet speech and charming Tamil laced with humour. The news of his passing brings immense sorrow.
