Veteran actor Manobala, known for his comic roles, passed away on Wednesday afternoon at his residence in Saligramam, Chennai. The veteran actor was suffering from a heart-related ailment and was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Chennai. The 69-year-old actor was part of several upcoming Tamil films. Among them was Yogi Babu’s upcoming film directed by KV Kathirvelu. The director expressed his grief and shared a picture from Manobala’s last birthday celebration where he is feeding him a cake.
Manobala can be seen wearing a black vest along with a lungi and red scarf tied on his head.
The caption of the tweet loosely translated, “Finally came to the shooting site and said, “I can’t!” Is it right that the person who left said that he is going to the hospital and left without saying this? Celebrated his last birthday with us and left. Is it okay to give up midway like this?”
