Many celebrities and fans have been sending condolences.

On the work front, Shankar is gearing for his next with Ram Charan and the one followed by a movie with Ranveer Singh, which is rumored to be Aparichithudu-remake. Ascar Ravichandran filed a petition against Shankar to refrain him from using the rights of Anniyan.
