Another Actor Has Died of Liver Disease: Abhinay Kinger Was 44

Beloved Tamil language actor Abhinay Kinger, perhaps best known for his role in 2002’s Thulluvadho Ilamai, has died.

The 44-year-old passed away in Chennai, India, on November 10 after a long battle with liver disease, according to Dinamani.

Per The Indian Express, Abhinay reportedly suffered from liver disease for months, and his financial situation worsened as medical expenses mounted. He sought help from various film industry members, and his Thulluvadho Ilamai co-star, Dhanush, is said to have donated ₹5 lakh (about $5,650) toward his treatment.

Media reports stated that members of the South Indian Artistes’ Association were asked to oversee the actor’s last rites, as he had no surviving family.

Abhinay’s other film credits include Jjunction (2002), Singara Chennai (2004), Pon Mega
