Gautham Menon Reveals He Was Supposed To Do A Film With Vivekh

Late actor Vivekh's death caused a void in the hearts of the Tamil fans. He was introduced to Kollywood by director K Balachander and created a niche for himself by coming up with informational comedy in his films. Vivekh was awarded Padma Shri Award, Kalaivanar Award. Sathyabama University honored Vivekh with a doctorate for his contribution to cinema. In a shocking turn of events, Vivekh died on April 17, 2021, after suffering cardiac arrest. He was 59. His posthumous release was the reality show, LOL: Enga Siri Paappom, which was released on Amazon Prime Video on August 27. The show was judged by Vivekh and Mirchi Shiva.

I’d planned to make a film with Vivekh for a digital release & he’d said it will have to wait for his ott debut LOL-Enga Siri Paappom. That was our last conversation. Remembering that as I watch his debut on OTT & what a fun outing! Here’s to Chokku & Revolver Richard.
