Vishnu Prasad breathed his last at a private hospital while preparations were underway for his liver transplant. Despite his daughter stepping forward as a donor, the family struggled to gather the funds needed for the surgery.

According to the report, they required around Rs 30 lakh for the procedure. The Association of Television Media Artistes (ATMA) had launched a fundraising campaign to support the cause. Unfortunately, Vishnu's condition worsened before the treatment could take place. He is survived by his two daughters, Ananika and Abhirami.

His notable film appearances include Kasi with Vikram and Kaiyethum Doorath alongside Fahadh Faasil. He was also a familiar face in popular Malayalam TV serials, where his performances were widely appreciated.
