**Hyderabad, July 4, 2025** – Popular Tollywood comedian Fish Venkat is fighting for his life as he battles severe kidney failure. The actor, known for his comedic roles in hits like *Aadi*, *Gabbar Singh*, and *DJ Tillu*, is currently in critical condition in a Hyderabad hospital and requires a kidney transplant.
Venkat has been undergoing dialysis for the past nine months, but his condition recently deteriorated, necessitating hospitalization and placement on a ventilator. Doctors say a kidney transplant is his only hope, but the procedure and aftercare are estimated to cost around ₹50 lakh.
His daughter, Sravanthi, made a heartfelt plea for financial assistance and a kidney donor earlier this week, revealing that she is unable to donate due to a blood type mismatch and Venkat’s brother is ineligible due to health concerns.
In a heartwarming display of generosity, Pan-Indian star Prabhas has offered complete financial assistance for Venkat’s transplant and related treatment. “Prabhas’s assistant called and told us to arrange a kidney donor, and they would take care of the operation expenses,” Sravanthi confirmed, expressing immense gratitude to the actor.
Prabhas’s swift action has been met with widespread praise from the Tollywood film fraternity and fans alike. This act of kindness underscores his reputation for philanthropy, having previously supported numerous technicians in the industry.
Currently, the family is urgently seeking a suitable kidney donor. Fish Venkat’s wife and daughter are appealing to the public to come forward and potentially save his life. The entertainment industry and fans are united in their hopes for Venkat’s recovery, demonstrating the power of solidarity within Tollywood.
