Reports say that Ratnakumar breathed his last after he suffered cardiac arrest at a private hospital in Chennai, days after he tested negative for the virus. 

By the turn of the 2010s, Ratnakumar had dubbed for more than one thousand movies not just in Telugu but also in Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam. It’s said that he was fluent in Sanskrit as well. Ratnakumar was a sought-after dubbing artist in the TV industry as well. He dubbed for more than 12,000 episodes of various serials in Telugu and Tamil.
