Kaka Radhakrishnan Passed Away.
He was suffering from breathing discomforts for the past few months. He has been given treatment for his body alignments by staying in hospital for few days. Last week, he recovered to some extent and was discharged from the hospital. Yesterday evening, he again suffered from suffocation in the noon time and he expired on Thursday.
Actor ‘Kaka’ Radhakrishnan, is well known for his performances as a comedian and character artist. His short physique and ability to use his eyes readily to convey different emotions made him a sought-after comedian in his earlier days. Radhakrishnan, who is said to have introduced Sivaji Ganesan to his theatre group, also acted with him in the much-acclaimed ‘Manohara’. They shared a special bond, and had a great regard for each other.
‘Guna’, ‘Thevar Magan’ and later ‘Vasool Raja’ made ‘Kaka’ a ‘cool dude’ figure. His sharp portrayal of the disgruntled patriarch in ‘Thevar Magan’ stood out, despite powerful performances from others – Sivaji, Kamal and Nasser – in the film.
The last few years were not easy for Radhakrishnan, who kept falling ill, but he was his cheerful self all through, said family members. He is survived by two wives, three sons and five daughters.
