He was involved in a road accident on Kanakpura road and had broken his limbs, and as the medical treatment could not help him to get over, be passed away.

He had supporting roles in several Kannada films and was noticed as a Comedian, like Vadivelu in Tamil. He also did roles in serial TV films. He was seen in Ulta Palta, 5 Idiots, who gets enough salary, and such other humour-harvesting films in a long career.
