financially.
Apart
from
Vijay
Sethupathi,
Vadivel's
dear
friend
and
actor

the

him
over

For
the
unversed,

and
Vadivel
Balaji
have
worked
together
for
the
show

Idhu
Yedhu.
While
remembering
his
late
friend,

told
Times
of
India,
"You
can
put
him
in
any
stage
and
he
will
make
the
crowd
instantly
laugh
to
his
jokes.
I
met
him
at
a
wedding
some
time
ago.
I
will
always
remember
his
laughter."
