The veteran actor had undergone a tracheotomy procedure — a surgery to create an opening through the neck into the trachea (windpipe) to allow direct access to the breathing tube.
Earlier on October 30, Kaikala was admitted to hospital on October 30 after he fell at his residence. Following treatment, he recovered and returned home. However, he again fell ill on November 20.
Kaikala was last seen in NTR Kathanayakudu and Maharshi. He is fondly known as Navarasa Natana Sarvabhouma. Born on July 25, 1935, in the Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh, the veteran has acted in over 650 movies. He bankrolled films like Kodama Simham, Muddula Mogudu, and Bangaru Kutumbam as producer. The actor was the recipient of the state Nandi award and the Raghupathi Venkaiah National award.
