Veteran director, writer and actor, Visu (aka) Meenakshisundaram Ramasamy Viswanathan, passed away yesterday (March 22). It is said that Visu had already been battling certain health issues. He had throat cancer and ere the day of his death, it seems that he had a cardiac arrest due to which he was taken to the hospital where he almost blacked out and passed away in not so longer time. It is also said that he had kidney failure.
Though he had a natural death, it is quite unacceptable for his family members, friends and especially the Tamil film industry people. He had contributed many valuable works to the industry and he had been ruling the family drama during his time. His family dramas are relatable even now. It is indeed a void in the industry to have lost such a sound and wise brain.
Celebrities including Rajinikanth, Vignesh Shivan, Shanthnu, Vivekh, Bofta Dhananjayan and others expressed their deep condolences to Visu's family. S.Ve Shekher and Y.Gee Mahendran went in person to pay the last homage.
