It's really a tragedy. I think he is probably one of those actors with some of the greatest variety of roles I've seen. Everything from zany and comedic to intense drama on a really touching level.

Really tragic indeed. At first when I saw the news I thought, it was his time. I just thought him to be older because it seems like he's been around forever. But 66... so young! I really will miss him.

dancelover: From the first such films thru the end of 1995, they needed lots of updating. Starting in Jan. 1996, someone else has been partially updating them, with Director, 3 Actors, confirmation they were in Kannadan, and sometimes Screenwriters. Sept 11, 2022 17:54:57 GMT

dancelover: I have been busy filling in gaps in IMDb. Their records for South India films are shockingly incomplete. I have been working Malayalam, and some Kannadan. Dec 25, 2019 21:01:30 GMT
