Iconic Tamil comedy actor Vivekh unfortunately passed away on Saturday. He had numerous films and characters to his name but in Hindi speaking regions, he was best known for his impeccable comic role in superstar Rajinikanth's 'Sivaji: The Boss'. He played an trusted ally and voice of reason for Rajnikanth's character. The duo were close friends in real life as well so apparently it was shocking for Rajni Sir to process the news of Vivekh's passing.

Rajnikanth took to Twitter to pay his respects and remember his late friend. He tweet written in Tamil can be translated as, "It pains me to hear about the demise of Chinna Kalaivanar, social activist and my dear friend Vivekh. My unforgettable days with him were when we worked together in Sivaji. My heartfelt condolences to Vivekh's family. Let Vivekh's soul rest in peace."

It wasn't long ago when Rajnikanth prayed for Vivekh's speedy recovery amd well being. Vivekh suffered a cardiac arrest on 16th and was undergoing treatment since then. on that day, Rajnikanth tweeted, "I pray to the almighty for my friend Vivekh to heal quickly."
