A celebrated novelist Balakumaran passed away in Tamil Nadu. He forayed into Tamil literature by starting off with poetry but focused on prose later and became one of the prominent writers in Tamil. His popular novels include 'Mercury Pookal' and 'Irumbu Kuthiraigal' which earned him a good fan following. Balakumaran also published a number of short stories and later entered Tamil cinema through script and dialogue writing.
