Veteran actor Fish Venkat, currently in the ICU and undergoing treatment for a critical condition, urgently needs a kidney transplant that could cost up to Rs 50 lakh.

Family Denies Prabhas Support
In a recent interview with Suman TV, a member of Fish Venkat’s family clarified that nothing of the sort happened and denied receiving any financial assistance from Prabhas or his team.
"We have been answering every call we get to see if anyone can help us. Some unknown person called us pretending to be Prabhas Anna’s assistant. We found out after that it was a fake call. He doesn’t even know something like this is happening. We have not received any financial help yet," shared the family member.
What Fish Venkat's Daughter Said
Earlier, the veteran actor's daughter told One India, "Daddy isn’t well at all. He is very serious and in the ICU. He needs a kidney transplant. It will cost us at least Rs 50 lakh. Prabhas’ assistant called us and offered financial assistance. They asked us to inform them when his transplant happens to cover the cost."
She added, "Be it Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun, or Jr NTR, I hope they help us find a donor for my father. He has worked in such good films with all of them. No one seems to care about him now. I request everyone to please help my father."
