Renowned Malayalam film and television actor Vishnu Prasad has passed away. He breathed his last at a private hospital in Kochi on Friday morning while undergoing treatment for liver disease. He had been in critical condition for the past few days. Actor Kishor Satya announced the news of his passing on social media.
“Priyappettavare, Oru sankada vaartha… Vishnu Prasaad antharichu. Kurachu naalukalaayi rogabadhithanaayi chikilsayil aayirunnu. Aadarajjalikal… Adhehathinte akaala viyogam neridaan kudumbathinu shakthiyundaavatte ennum praarthikkunnu. (Dear friends, a sad news… Vishnu Prasad has passed away. He had been undergoing treatment for an illness for quite some time now. My condolences… I pray that his family gains the strength to bear his untimely demise),” Kishor wrote on Instagram while sharing a photo of his deceased colleague.
Vishnu Prasad succumbed to the illness while his family and colleagues were gearing up for the actor’s liver transplant. Although his daughter had volunteered to donate her liver, the family was struggling to raise the huge amount of money required for the treatment. According to OnManorama, Vishnu’s family faced the challenge of raising Rs 30 lakh for his surgery. While the Association of Television Media Artistes (ATMA) had initiated a fundraising campaign to help them, his health deteriorated on Thursday, resulting in his demise. He is survived by his daughters Abhirami and Ananika.
Known for his performance in movies such as actor Vikram’s Kasi (the 2001 Tamil remake of director Vinayan’s 1999 Malayalam drama Vasanthiyum Lakshmiyum Pinne Njaanum), Fahadh Faasil’s Kaiyethum Doorath (2002), Dileep’s Runway (2004) and Lion (2006), Mohanlal’s Mambazhakkalam (2004), Kalabhavan Mani’s Ben Johnson (2005) and Lokanathan IAS (2005), and Suresh Gopi’s Pathaka (2006), Vishnu Prasad was also a notable face in the realm of television serials.
