Veteran actor-comedian Fish Venkat is in the ICU in a serious condition and needs a kidney transplant.

Fish Venkat’s daughter seeks Tollywood help

Venkat’s daughter, Shravanthi, spoke to the press and said that they need at least ₹50 lakh for the transplant, which Prabhas has offered to help with. “Daddy isn’t well at all. He is very serious and in the ICU. He needs a kidney transplant. It will cost us at least ₹50 lakh. Prabhas’ assistant called us and offered financial assistance. They asked us to inform them when his transplant happens to cover the cost,” she said.

But the issue, she says, lies in the fact that nobody in the family is able to donate a kidney to him for various reasons, and they’re unable to find a donor. Seeking help in finding one, she said, “Be it Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun, or Jr NTR, I hope they help us find a donor for my father. He has worked in such good films with all of them. No one seems to care about him now. I request everyone to please help my father.”
