Tamil actor Daniel Balaji passed away on the night of March 29 due to a heart attack at a private hospital in Chennai. He had complained of chest pain earlier that day and was rushed to a hospital in Kottivakam, where despite receiving treatment, he could not be saved. His body has been taken to his residence in Purasaiwalkam for his final rites. At 48 years old, his sudden demise has shocked both his fans and the Tamil film industry. Many actors, directors, and producers from the Tamil film industry are expected to pay their last respects to him today, March 30.

Following the news of Daniel Balaji’s demise, his admirers and acquaintances expressed their astonishment and sorrow on social media platforms. Balaji was renowned for portraying villainous characters in movies, with his portrayal of Amudhan in Gautham Menon and Kamal Haasan’s ‘Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu’ being particularly notable as one of Tamil cinema’s iconic antagonist roles. Further details about his cremation are awaited.

Director Mohan Raja paid tribute to Balaji and wrote that he was his inspiration to join the film institute.

Here’s the post:

Balaji commenced his career as a unit production manager in Kamal Haasan’s unfinished project, ‘Marudhunayagam’. He ventured into television by playing a memorable role in Radikaa Sarathkumar’s ‘Chithhi’, where his character was named Daniel, leading to his screen name, Daniel Balaji.

In 2022, he made his acting debut in the Tamil film ‘April Madhathil’. However, it was his role in Gautham Menon and Suriya-Jyotika’s ‘Kaakha Kaakha’ that propelled him to fame. He also played the antagonist in Vetri Maaran’s ‘Polladhavan’. Following his success in ‘Kaakha Kaakha’, he collaborated with Gautham Menon again for ‘Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu’, where he portrayed the character of Amudhan.

His notable works include roles in Ajith’s ‘Yennai Arindhaal’, Simbu’s ‘Achcham Yenbadhu Madamaiyada’, Thalapathy Vijay’s ‘Bairavaa’, Dhanush’s ‘Vada Chennai’, and Vijay’s ‘Bigil’. His last appearance was in ‘Ariyavan’.

Daniel Balaji also appeared in a few Malayalam, Telugu, and Kannada films alongside his Tamil film career.
