Prabhu Deva lost his son to cancer




Star, dancer master, and director Prabhu Deva's son passed away early this morning. Called Vishal at home, he was named Basavaraj, and had been suffering from cancer for a long time. Deva and his family had been fighting the disease with him, knowing Vishal would be taken away from them any day. When he died this morning, Prabhu Deva said that Prabhu Deva though he knew it would happen, he had hoped they would have more time with Vishal. Recently, he had even taken his son abroad on the Villu shoot to make him happy and fill him with memories.

He has directed films like Pournami, Nuvvastanantae Nenodantana in Telugu and Pokiri in Tamil.

Film personalities including Ajith, Vijay, Prakashraj, Sreeman, director SA Chandrasekharan, cinematographer Raviverman, directors Tharun Gopi, Arun Pandian among others thronged to Prabhu Deva's house.

Vishal will be buried at Besant Nagar crematorium.
