Kollywood actor and comedian Vivek passed away today, in the morning. The actor was brought to SIMS hospital by his family, yesterday when he collapsed. Vivek suffered a cardiac arrest and was hospitalised immediately. Yesterday, a spokesperson informed the media about the cardiac arrest. The spokesperson also stated that the actor regained consciousness and will be in good health again. However, the unexpected news of Vivek’s demise has left the fans and the people of the film industry devastated. Vivek was 59 years old.
Vivek was one of the top comedians of the Tamil film industry. He acted in over 220 films in his career which spanned over 3 decades. His contributions to the Tamil cinema are invaluable. The actor was a familiar face to the Telugu audiences as well, due to the Tamil dubbed movies. The South Indian film industry suffers a great loss and he is irreplaceable. Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 was the last film in which Vivek acted.

Besides being a great actor and comedian, Vivek was an environmentalist, who launched Green Kalam, under the guidance of the former President A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, which achieved its mission of planting a billion trees all over the state of Tamil Nadu.
A few days ago, Vivek took the vaccine for the Coronavirus and also advocated for people to get vaccinated. The actor chose to be vaccinated in a government hospital instead of a private one to spread awareness regarding the vaccine. Vivek was a humanitarian, environmentalist, actor, comedian and a good human being, he will be surely missed.
Telugu Filmnagar wishes strength to his family, may his soul rest in peace.
