Who was Akhil Vishwanath?

Akhil Vishwanath was part of the 2019 Kerala State Film Award–winning film Chola, directed by Sanal Kumar Sasidharan. Though he was not frequently in the public eye, his work in the film was widely appreciated. His involvement in an award-winning project marked an important moment in his career and highlighted his potential as an actor. Despite limited appearances, Akhil was regarded as someone with strong artistic sensibilities and dedication to cinema.

Apart from acting, Akhil was reportedly working as a mechanic at a mobile phone shop in Kottali. However, he had stopped going to work for some time. His family was also going through a difficult phase, as his father, Vishwanathan, is currently bedridden after suffering serious injuries in a road accident three months ago. His father, an autorickshaw driver, was hit by a car while riding his scooter and has been undergoing treatment since then. The situation is believed to have placed emotional and financial strain on the family.
