Kollywood mourns the passing away of the 41-Year-old director

The Tamil film industry has been left in shock following the untimely demise of director Suresh Sangaiah, who passed away at the age of 41. Known for his fresh and unique storytelling,
Sangaiah was best recognized for his critically acclaimed debut film, ‘Oru Kidayin Karunai Manu (2017)’, which showcased his talent for weaving socially conscious narratives.

A former assistant to director Manikandan of ‘Kaaka Muttai’ fame, Suresh directed ‘Sathiya Sodhanai’ last year, starring Premgi Amaren. He was in the final stages of completing his third
film, ‘Kenatha Kanom’, featuring Yogi Babu in a lead role. The film had wrapped up shooting and was undergoing post-production, with plans for a direct OTT release.

significant loss to Tamil cinema. The condolences continue to pour in from across the film fraternity for the promising filmmaker with originality. Kollywood will remember him as a talented director gone too soon.
