Producer commits suicide, Kollywood shocked
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,November 22 2017]
Tamil film industry has been hit by a tragedy with a producer named B Ashok Kumar killing himself.
On Tuesday, Ashok committed suicide admittedly because he couldn't withstand pressure from a financier, who had been forcing him to pay unsustainable and unreasonable interest rates. Ashok had also directed movies.
Gautham Menon has said, "Ashok, I know that your death will help nab a heartless money-minded demon. But we wish you were alive and carried on the struggle yourself."
Condolence messages are pouring in from several quarters. More than this, a debate around usury is also gaining ground.
