Budding music composer Praveen Kumar, who primarily worked in Tamil films, passed away, on Thursday, May 2, at the age of 28. According to reports, he breathed his last at Omandur Government Hospital in Chennai at 6.30 am due to kidney-related illness.

Praveen Kumar was reportedly admitted to a private hospital a few weeks ago, before he was shifted to Omandur Government Hospital. 

Hailing from Vadakku Vaasal in Thanjavur, Praveen Kumar began his career as a keyboard player. His song ‘Thamizhukku Amudhendru Per’ from the film Methagu became popular among the music fraternity.
