Cho Ramaswamy passes away: Tamil film personalities may homage

Mumbai: Multi-dimensional personality Cho Ramaswamy, who was a friend of Late CM Jayalalithaa, passed away on Wednesday morning at about 4 AM at Apollo Hospital in Chennai. Incidentally, it was the same hospital where the beloved Amma of Tamil Nadu was admitted for treatment.

The irreparable loss of Jayalalithaa and Cho Ramaswamy has created a vacuum in not just Tamil Nadu’s political spectrum but on pan India politics because they were iconic and influential personalities with mammoth experience and astuteness.

A few members of the Tamil film industry paid homage to Cho Ramasway, who was also into directing films and writing screenplays. The founder and editor of Thuglak magazine, Cho was also an actor par excellence. He could effortlessly tickle people’s funny bone with his comic skills and expressions.

Here are a few reactions that came after Cho’s demise:
