but also provided an opportunity for many young actors. Abhinay played Dhanush's close friend in that film.
His simple acting and natural screen presence were well-received by the audience.
After this success, he acted in films in other languages, including Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. Although he initially played various roles, over time, new opportunities diminished, and he slowly withdrew from the film industry.
Battling a severe liver ailment
After retiring from the film industry, Abhinay's life faced unexpected challenges. A few years ago, he developed a serious liver-related health problem.
Despite initial treatment, the disease persisted for a long time and required ongoing medical care. However, the high cost of this treatment left him in dire financial straits. Despite the support of his family, he was unable to fully cover the medical expenses.
As a result, he sought financial assistance for his treatment through social media and from his friends.
Dhanush steps in with major support
Meanwhile, Dhanush, who had acted alongside Abhinay in his first film, also came to know about the situation.

Keeping in mind the old friendship memories, he immediately decided to do a big favor. According to The Hindu, Dhanush contributed a large amount towards Abhinay's medical expenses by donating Rs. 5 lakh from his personal funds. Reports indicate that this assistance helped cover a significant portion of his treatment costs, and Abhinay's treatment is continuing uninterrupted.
This humanitarian act by Dhanush has shown that he stands by his old friends and values friendships, not only in his acting but also in his personal life.
KPY Bala leads early efforts
Upon learning of Abhinay's financial struggle, Tamil cinema and television star KPY Bala earlier stepped in to help the actor. He reportedly provided Rs 1 lakh from his own funds and arranged for the initial funds required for Abhinay's treatment. Bala's act led other friends and fans to step up and help. Many donated as much as they could, making it possible for Abhinay to continue his treatment.

Coolie All India Opening Day Box Office Estimate: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj film takes a Kollywood record opening; Collects over Rs 75 crore
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth, broke all time opening day records for a Kollywood movie, almost everywhere it released in. All past records have been obilterated and new records have been set. As per early estimates, Coolie has collected over Rs 75 crore on day 1 in India. This is despite clashing with a big release like War 2. If not for the clash, the movie could have collected around Rs 10 crore more. Coolie Opens To India Gross Collections Of Rs 75 Crore Plus, With Around Rs 30 Crore From Tamil Nadu The home state collections of Coolie, look to be in the vicinity of Rs 30 crore, only under Beast and Leo. Beast's collections are the highest because it had permission for early morning shows, unlike Leo and Coolie. The best performance in terms of potential realised has come from the two Andhra states. Despite playing alongside a movie with a tier-1 superstar, it did exceptionally. Infact, it has given War 2 a run for its money in most of the major cities. The same should continue for the rest of the weekend. Coolie Heads To Become One Of The Top 5 Highest Grossing Kollywood Movies Of All Time Coolie's word of mouth is on the mixed side, limiting its potential for record lifetime numbers. The extended weekend though, should propel the movie to a very safe position. Despite the mixed reception, it is likely to end as one of the top 5 Kollywood grossers of all time. For those who don't know, the highest grossing Kollywood film record remains with Rajinkanth 's 2.0. Rajinikanth is already busy with his next movie Jailer 2. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the dark-comedy is already one of the most hyped Kollywood films, much like Coolie. The movie releases in 2027 but a confirmed date is still unknown. As about Lokesh Kanagaraj, his next movie is Kaithi 2. He also has a movie with Aamir Khan in the pipeline. Coolie In Theatres
