BANGALORE:
Maker of the Malayalam popular serial Sthree and Asianet
Suvarana's chief operating officer Shyam Sunder succumbed
to a heart attack on Wednesday night. He was 44.
 Sunder's
body was consigned to the flames today. He
had been admitted to the Wockhardt Hospital in Bangalore where
stents were placed as a part of his treatment. He had suffered
a heart attack on 22
December.
Sunder
ran a Chennai-based production house Yantra Media. In that
avatar he had directed Sthree which aired on Asianet.
Sthree changed the semantics of television serials
in India; it went on to complete 400 episodes in two years
during its initial run. Vinaya Prasad, who played the lead
role of Sthree's 'Indu' became a household name in
Kerala.
Tullu
speaking Sunder's roots are from the Mangalore area in Karnataka.
Sunder
joined Asianet this year and was involved in launching its
Kannada general entertainment channel Suvarna.
