Personal life and career

[edit]

Originally from Kakinada, he moved to Chennai and pursued a career in films. He started out as a comedic child artist and starred in Telugu films such as Bala Bharatam (1972). As he became an adult, he received less opportunities and played minor roles in several films barring the Tamil film Pithamagan (2003) where he played Laila's father before starting his YouTube channel Vissu Talkies.[2][3] He died in 2024 at the age of 64 in Chennai due to cancer.[4]
