With a heavy heart, we regret to report that senior actor Samikannu passed away during the late hours of June 3rd. He is said to have deceased due to his poor health conditions. He has been an active theater artiste right from the age of 8, and he has also featured in over 400 Tamil films.
He has acted alongside all the big names in the Kollywood film industry which includes, MGR, Sivaji, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. He debuted in 1954 in the movie Pudhuyugam. He has worked with directors like KS Gopalakrishnan, SP Muthuraman, Mahendran, Ramanarayanan, and others.

We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family members.
