Kollywood comes together for actor Vivek who lost his son

Popular comedian Vivek suffered a huge loss as his son Prasanna Kumar died on Thursday, October 29, due to brain fever. The death of the 13-year-old has come as huge shock to his family, friends and fans.

Vivek has acted with practically everyone in the Tamil film industry and the industry is showing their support to him in this critical time in his life. Actor Ajith was one of the first who went and met the comedian and his family at home when the news came out about his son’s passing away.

Prasanna Kumar, 13, passed away due to brain fever. He was admitted in SIMS hospital for several days where doctors reportedly tried their best to save him. Vivek sent a request to the media on Thursday evening through his spokesperson asking that they respect the family’s privacy during this extremely difficult time.

Vivek has done many films with actor Rajinikanth and Mrs Latha Rajinikanth is reportedly trying to convey this tragic news to the Superstar who is in Malaysia for the shooting of Kabali.

Many celebrities have been expressing their condolences on social media.
