CHENNAI: Actor Suriya has come forward to support the family of stunt master Mohanraj, who tragically lost his life during the filming of a movie. Suriya has pledged to take care of the educational expenses of Mohanraj’s children, while actor Silambarasan (Simbu) has extended financial assistance to the bereaved family.

He was immediately rushed to the government hospital in Nagapattinam, where he was declared dead. Footage of the stunt sequence and visuals of Mohanraj in an unconscious state have since gone viral on social media platforms.
