KOCHI: The condition of actor, screenwriter and director Sreenivasan admitted to Ernakulam Medical Centre Hospital yesterday has improved and is off ventilator support. The medical bulletin released has informed that he will remain in the ICU for the next 48 hours. Sources close to him said that he spoke to his wife and children. He was admitted in the hospital in a very bad condition and he quickly responded to medicines.

The actor who was recording at a private studio in Kakkanad complained of breathlessness and was immediately rushed to the hospital near Palarivattom Bypass yesterday. He collapsed immediately on reaching the hospital and worryingly none of the vital parameters could be registered. He was then rushed to the Intensive Care Unit. Though his vital parameters have picked up since, he was put on ventilator support.
