A video doing the rounds online shows Power Star Srinivasan, the comedian known for his gap-toothed grin and the trademark 'ee' laugh, walking with visible difficulty. He's unsteady, stumbling as he moves, and looks nothing like the man fans are used to seeing crack jokes on screen. The clip's exact origin and date aren't clear, and there's been no statement from Srinivasan or anyone close to him explaining what's going on.
Fans have flooded comment sections asking the obvious question: what happened to him? Some say he looked unrecognisable in the footage. Nobody in his camp has confirmed or denied anything, so right now this is a viral clip and a lot of worry, not a diagnosis.
Srinivasan hasn't had a big screen presence in a while, though his old comedy scenes keep doing rounds on television and YouTube, which is probably how a whole generation of fans who never saw his films in theatres still know his face. He first stepped in front of the camera as director, producer and hero of Lathika in 2011. The film didn't work commercially, but his antics in it built him a small, loyal fan base almost overnight. That goodwill carried him into a supporting role in Santhanam's Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya, and from there into films like Onbadhu Guru, I and Kola Soda.
