Shankar Ganesh was shifted to a private hospital in Porur

The Shankar-Ganesh duo were the busiest music composers in Tamil cinema during the 70s and 80s. Later, on the recommendation of the family doctor, he was transferred to a private hospital in Porur.

Although his health is currently stable, he is receiving ongoing treatment under the supervision of doctors.

Ganesh continued the legacy under the name ‘Shankar Ganesh’

Shankar Ganesh was the busiest music composer in Tamil cinema in the 70s and 80s. Since the 1960s, the duo has composed music for many films starring leading actors, including MGR, Sivaji Ganesan, Rajinikanth, and Kamal Haasan. After the passing of Shankar among the twins, Ganesh identified himself as 'Shankar Ganesh,' with the idea of "keeping his friend's name alive."

Shankar Ganesh's distinctive trademark was the jewels around her neck and gloves on her hands. Even in his old age, he continued to perform on stage from time to time and released a few devotional music albums.

Fans pray for the speedy recovery of the iconic composer

A few years ago, doctors advised him not to sing due to a heart problem. Since then, Shankar Ganesh has been mostly resting at home. His current health problem has caused concern among fans. Fans, music industry celebrities, and film circles are praying for the speedy recovery of Shankar Ganesh, who made an unparalleled contribution to Tamil cinema.
