The Tamil film industry is in mourning today as it bids farewell to the multi-talented director and actor, G Marimuthu. His passing at the age of 57, attributed to a heart attack, has deeply saddened the industry. Marimuthu's journey began as an assistant director, and he later ventured into acting, making his debut in Ajith's Vaali in 1999. He eventually transitioned into directing, with his directorial debut in Kannum Kannum in 2008. Before his directorial career, Marimuthu honed his craft as an assistant director, working alongside renowned filmmakers like Mani Ratnam, Vasanth, Seeman, and SJ Suryah. His last on-screen appearance was in Rajinikanth's Jailer, where he portrayed a character role. The final rites for G Marimuthu are scheduled for later today, and our deepest condolences go out to his grieving family during this challenging time.
