Prabhu had reportedly lost touch with his family and had no one to help when he was suffering from cancer. It is said that because he did not get any acting jobs during the Covid-induced lockdown he could not get proper treatment for cancer. D Imman had then provided the needed help but Prabhu passed away after battling the disease for many years. Imman also stood in as a family member and performed the last rites at the crematorium in Chennai.

Prabhu acted in short roles in over 100 Tamil films like 'Padikathavan' and others. He was known for his performance in Dhanush's Padikkathavan, where he played the role of a rich guy who comes as a prospective groom in a comedy scene.
