Veteran Tamil actor Delhi Ganesh passed away on the night of November 9th, due to complications related to his health. He was 80 years old. The actor’s family confirmed the news in a statement, expressing their profound sorrow: “We deeply regret to inform you that our father Mr Delhi Ganesh has passed away on 9th November at around 11 PM.” His remains are currently at his residence in Ramapuram, Chennai, and his final rites are set to take place on November 11th.

Ganesh began his acting career only after completing a decade-long service in the Indian Air Force from 1964 to 1974. It was after this period that he transitioned into the world of cinema.

With a career that spanned more than forty years, Delhi Ganesh featured in over 400 films, earning a special place as one of the most cherished actors in Tamil cinema. Renowned for his versatility, he effortlessly portrayed a wide array of characters, from comedic roles to villains, and compassionate supporting figures, leaving behind a remarkable and enduring legacy in the industry.

The veteran actor’s stage name, Delhi Ganesh, was bestowed upon him by renowned filmmaker K. Balachander, who also gave him his first major role in 1976 with the film ‘Pattina Pravesam’. His career breakthrough occurred in the 1980s, and although he briefly played the lead role in ‘Engamma Maharani’ (1981), it was his significant work as a supporting actor that garnered him widespread recognition and affection. Some of his most iconic performances were in films such as ‘Sindhu Bhairavi’ (1985), ‘Nayakan’ (1987), ‘Michael Madhana Kama Rajan’ (1990), ‘Aahaa..!’ (1997), and ‘Thenali’ (2000).

Ganesh’s contributions to Tamil cinema were widely recognized. He received the Tamil Nadu State Film Award Special Prize for his performance in ‘Pasi’ (1979), and in 1994, he was bestowed with the prestigious Kalaimamani award by then-Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, in acknowledgment of his outstanding achievements in the arts.

Later in his career, Ganesh ventured into television and short films. His cameo as Alfred Pennyworth in the short film ‘What If Batman Was From Chennai’ became a standout moment. He also featured in the 2016 thriller ‘Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru’, directed by Karthick Naren, where his brief yet impactful performance was widely appreciated.

From his humble beginnings in the Indian Air Force to becoming a household name in cinema, Ganesh’s journey was one of perseverance, passion, and dedication. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations of actors and filmmakers, and his work will remain cherished by audiences for years to come.
