He carved a niche for himself as a hero loved by rural folk for his native looks.

He took a sabbatical from films and entered politics, which remained his breath till he breathed his last. His demise comes as a shock to the film fraternity, which has always recognized his work. His performances in films like Kizhakku Cheemayile and Puthumai Penn is noteworthy. He was 48 years old and survived by his wife and a son. Cremation will take place at Madurai Thathaneri funeral grounds at 3 p.m. Friday, 11th January 2008. Director Bharathi Raja, actors Revathy and Khushboo are leaving for Madurai to attend the obsequies.
