Arun Prasath, the director of GV Prakash starrer 4G passed away in a freak road accident on Friday, with the news coming off as a shocker for the team members and the industry. Though the film was delayed a bit, it does arrive as a sad and unfortunate news for the industry at a time when things are already down due to the Corona virus pandemic.
Arun Prasath, who was an erstwhile associate of Shankar, was credited in the film’s posters as Venkat Pakkar. Shankar and the team members expressed their condolences through their social media pages yesterday.
Heartbroken by the sudden demise of the young director and my ex-assistant, Arun. You were always sweet, positive and hardworking. My prayers are forever with you and my deepest condolences to your family and friends.🙏 pic.twitter.com/ZA6kvfcYLj
