It is reported on a Tamil news channel that he was transferred to intensive care after his condition did not improve and there he breathed his last one today. Kannan is survived by his wife Kanchana and their daughters Madhumati and Janani.
He worked in more than 50 films (40 films with BharathiRaja ). He was well known for his long term association with director Bharathiraja. Also, He was a HOD at BOFTA India film Institute for Cinematography department. It is a big loss to the Family, BOFTA and the Tamil film industry. Rest In Peace sir.
