The celebrities were taken aback by the news of his sudden demise and a sense of shock was greatly visible beyond the industry. 

Manobala was a versatile artist who made a mark in Tamil cinema as an actor and director. He was a source of laughter and joy for many generations of viewers.

Manobala had also suffered from chest pain before and underwent an angio-treatment in January.

Rahman has been conferred with awards for his recent successful outings including Ponniyin Selvan Part 1 and Vendhu Thaninthadhu Kaadu.

Following the medical negligence, Kothandapani said that he has lost confidence in the government hospitals in Chennai and has shifted his daughter to a private hospital in Vellore.

The case dates back to 2014, when Lingusamy and his brother Subash Chandra Bose, who own the production house Thirrupathi Brothers, borrowed Rs 1.03 crore from PVP Capital Limited.

A five-member team from the Tamil Nadu State Human Rights Commission, led by Police S.P. Maheswaran, conducted an investigation at Kalashetra today at 11.30 am.

He was the first Collector of Sivaganga district (1985-86), Secretary to Governor Bhishma Narayan Singh (1991-93), Home Secretary (2001-02) and Member Secretary of the State Planning Commission (2002-05).

This time, along with opposing Modi's visit, there are calls urging Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi to leave the state in the wake of his recent controversial speeches.

As Modi's Chennai visit is becoming a part of his outreach to the souther states, political observers say that Modi's meeting with EPS and OPS would have less impact on ADMK.
