Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has shared a statement from actor Sri’s family and friends informing that his Maanagaram actor Shriram Natarajan, popularly known as Sri, who has been the talk of the town due to his posts on Instagram and his drastic physical transformation, is now undergoing treatment and will be taking time off from social media.
On his X handle, the Coolie director posted the statement that read, “We would like to inform all well-wishers, friends, and members of the media that actor Shriram is under expert medical care and is currently taking some time off from social media following his doctor’s advice. We kindly request everyone to respect his need for privacy as he focuses on his recovery and well-being.”

Sri’s ‘family and friends’ also clarified that they do not endorse “any views expressed by certain individuals in interviews and deny the same completely”. “Speculation and misinformation can be extremely distressing, and we urge all media platforms, both online and offline, to refrain from spreading rumours or unverified updates about his health. We also appeal to media platforms to remove any objectionable content or interviews based on his current condition and to respect his personal space as he focuses on recovery.”
