Situation
Of

Actors
In
Tamil
Film
Industry
Popular
supporting
actor
Prabhu,
who
played
small
roles
in
more
than
100
films
including
Dhanush's
'Padikathavan',
passed
away
due
to
cancer.
Actors
who
play
minor
roles
in
Tamil
cinema
usually
do
not
get
recognized
easily.
Some
suddenly
grow
to
unattainable
heights,
many
disappear
without
even
knowing
where
they
were.
One
such
person
is
supporting
actor
Prabhu,
who
has
acted
in
more
than
100
films
including
'Padikathavan'.
In
Dhanush's
'Padikadhavan',
he
played
the
role
of
a
rich
boy
who
comes
to
visit
his
younger
sister.
It
is
said
that
when
he
got
opportunities
to
act
in
many
films,
he
spent
the
money
with
his
friends
and
indulged
in
bad
habits
like
alcohol,
tobacco,
and
at
one
point
he
got
cancer.
Although
he
was
initially
unaware
of
it,
later
after
going
to
the
hospital
and
undergoing
appropriate
tests,
he
was
diagnosed
with
cancer.
D
Imman
Helped
Prbhu
After
hearing
about
Prabhu's
condition,
music
composer
D
Imman
accepted
his
medical
expenses.
However,
Prabhu
passed
away
today
as
the
cancer
had
progressed
and
he
was
receiving
only
temporary
treatment.
He
lived
in
the
Koyambedu
bus
stand
without
film
opportunities
and
unable
to
get
treatment
for
cancer
in
the
Corona
crisis.
Although
many
celebrities
were
very
close
to
him,
he
did
not
seek
help
from
anyone.
Also,
Prabhu,
whose
body
was
unrecognizable
due
to
cancer,
was
identified
by
Palani,
who
randomly
came
to
Koyambedu
bus
station.
Following
this,
music
composer
D
Imman
performed
funeral
rites
for
Prabhu
and
cremated
the
body.
This
act
of
D
Imman
is
getting
appreciation
among
fans.
