The Tamil film industry is in mourning after the sudden demise of veteran actor and politician Arulmani. The 65-year-old actor passed away on April 11th, 2024, after suffering a heart attack.
Arulmani, known for his character roles in numerous films like “Singam,” “Lingaa,” “Azhagi,” and “Thandavakone,” was a familiar face in Tamil cinema. While his acting career brought him recognition, Arulmani was also actively involved in politics. He was a passionate campaigner for the AIADMK party and had been busy campaigning for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in recent days.
Reports suggest that Arulmani experienced a cardiac arrest after returning home on April 11th. He was rushed to a private hospital in Chennai, but despite receiving treatment, he could not be revived. The news of his passing has sent shockwaves through the Tamil film fraternity and the AIADMK party.

Director Hari, who worked with Arulmani in several films, praised his versatility and commitment to his craft. Leaders from the AIADMK party expressed their condolences, highlighting Arulmani’s unwavering support for the party and its ideology.
Arulmani’s passing adds to a string of recent heart attack-related deaths in the Tamil film industry.

Arulmani’s death leaves a void not only in Tamil cinema but also in the political landscape. He was a dedicated artist who brought life to various characters on screen and a passionate advocate for his political beliefs. He will be remembered for his contributions to both entertainment and politics.
