Prabhas offers financial help to the comedian Fish Venkat's kidney transplantation

Finding a suitable kidney donor is still the biggest obstacle, even though Prabhas' support has given the family hope.

Telugu actor Prabhas has come forward to show support for veteran comedian Fish Venkat, who is receiving treatment in the intensive care unit and is in critical condition. The well-known philanthropist actor has promised to pay for Venkat's urgent kidney transplant.

Sravanthi, Venkat's daughter, confirmed in an interview with One India that Prabhas' team has committed to paying for the transplant, which is expected to cost about Rs 50 lakh. "Daddy needs a kidney transplant immediately because he is very ill. When the procedure was scheduled, Prabhas' assistant contacted us and promised to provide us with financial support," she said.

Finding a suitable kidney donor is still the biggest obstacle, even though Prabhas' support has given the family hope. Sravanthi disclosed that they have not yet found a suitable donor and that no family member is a match.

She made a heartfelt appeal for other well-known Tollywood actors to lend a hand, particularly those who had previously collaborated with her father. "I kindly ask that celebrities like Jr. NTR, Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun, and Chiranjeevi come forward. With them, my father has acted in a number of good movies. Now, though, nobody seems to give a damn. We require assistance, particularly in locating a donor," she pleaded.

Fish Venkat is most recognised for his unique Telangana dialect and comedic timing. His parts in movies like Bunny, Adhurs, and Dhee helped him become well-known, and he is still a cherished supporting actor in Telugu cinema. Now, the family is hoping that the industry he worked in for years will support him during his difficult time.
