Tamil actor Pandu, a popular comedic star, died of COVID in a Chennai hospital today. He was 74.
Pandu tested positive for the virus some days ago along with his wife Kumudha who is still being treated for COVID.
The couple have three sons. Tributes to the late actor have deluged Twitter. “Better to switch off from all social media for some time. Very shocking to read this morning’s news. #RIPPandu sir, one of the finest human beings and actors,” tweeted producer Dhananjayan.
Sibi Sathyaraj wrote, “When actors like Goundamani Uncle and Senthil sir were ruling the 90s, he held his own with his unique style, expressions and dialogue delivery. Rest in peace, Pandu sir, you will be missed.”
