It is understood Marimuthu was dubbing for a new show for Sun TV when he was taken ill.

Actor Kamalesh told Sun News that Marimuthu complained about feeling “suffocated” shortly before he died.

Marimuthu ran away from home in his early 20s with dreams of being a director.

He worked as a waiter in a hotel before getting his break in showbiz as an assistant director.
