opportunities.

him
with
the
critical
situation
through
a
video
message
on

media.
Notably,
many
people
from
the
fraternity
came
forward
and
helped
him.
Talking
about
his
last
film
Kanne
Kalaimane,
the
film
also
starred
Udhayanidhi
Stalin
and
Tamannaah
Bhatia
in
the
lead
roles.
The
film
performed
well
at
the
box
office.
Apart
from
this,
Theepetti
had
worked
in
more
than
ten
Tamil
films.
