The second wave of coronavirus is continuing to spread alarmingly and is also claiming lives much like the first wave in 2020. Director Thamira who tested positive for the virus was admitted to a private hospital in Chennai but unfortunately lost the battle this morning.

Thamira made his directorial debut with 'Rettaisuzhi' produced by Shankar and starring K. Balachander and Bharathiraja along with Aari and Anjali. He later made the family drama 'Aan Devathai' starring Samuthirakani and Ramya Pandian.

Ramya Pandian shared photos of herself with Thamira and wrote and emotional message "I have always been a fan of Thamira sir's script writing abilities. His love and passion for Tamil has inspired many including me. More than it all what makes him special is the way he treated everyone around him. The entire cast and crew of Aan dhevadhai have always been treated with utmost respect. He would never miss a moment to appreciate talent and that too wholeheartedly. He has supported me and cared for me like one of his family members and this is a personal loss. Thank you sir for everything. You are missed very dearly. Deepest condolences to the family."
