End of an era in Tamil cinema comedy. His expressions could make anyone laugh without even saying a word. The younger generation may not know how big he was in the 80s and 90s. Condolences to his family.

While he was undoubtedly talented, I wish he had gotten more substantial roles later in his career. The industry tends to sideline comedians after a certain age. Still, his legacy is secure. #MadhanBob

His chemistry with Vivek in comedy scenes was legendary! Two masters at work. Today's comedians could learn so much from his subtle expressions and perfect timing. Gone too soon 😢
