Tamil actor and comedian Robo Shankar, aged 46, tragically passed away after collapsing on a film set. He was rushed to a private hospital in Chennai, where he was admitted in critical condition. Despite intensive care efforts, his health deteriorated, and he succumbed to his illness a few hours later.
According to reports, Robo Shankar was moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) shortly before his passing. His condition had worsened earlier in the day, and he eventually succumbed to his illness.
Robo Shankar, known for his comedic roles in Tamil cinema, was a fan of veteran actor Kamal Haasan. Reacting to his loss, Haasan penned an emotional tribute on X. As per the translation, he wrote, “Robo Shankar. Robo is just a pseudonym. In my dictionary, you are a human. You're my younger brother. Will you just leave me and go? Your job is done, you left. My job remains unfinished. You left tomorrow for us. Therefore, tomorrow is ours.”
ரோபோ சங்கர்
ரோபோ புனைப்பெயர் தான்
என் அகராதியில் நீ மனிதன்
ஆதலால் என் தம்பி
போதலால் மட்டும் எனை விட்டு
நீங்கி விடுவாயா நீ?
உன் வேலை நீ போனாய்
என் வேலை தங்கிவிட்டேன்.
நாளையை எமக்கென நீ விட்டுச்
சென்றதால்
நாளை நமதே.— Kamal Haasan (@ikamalhaasan) September 18, 2025
