Alva Vasu critical

Comedy and character actor 'Alva' Vasu, who has worked in about 900 films, is in critical condition after suffering liver failure. He has worked as an assistant to director-actor Manivannan and went on to act with Sathyaraj in the hit film Amaidhi Padai in 1994.

Vasu has acted with Rajinikanth in films such as Arunachalam in 1997 and Sivaji in 2007. He has been receiving intensive treatment for the last six months at the Meenakshi Mission Hospital in Madurai.

Vasu's wife Amutha Vasudevan said, "The doctors said that they have not been able to treat him. They advised me to take him home as he has very little time left to live." It is very sad to note this and prayers have been pouring in for the actor’s speedy recovery. On behalf of Nadigar Sangam, Vishal had given 20,000 for immediate expenses to Vasu’s family and arrangements are being done to transfer funds to Vasu’s wife. There are also artists from the Sangam who are individually helping the actor.
