On May 3, speculations regarding Sarath Babu's death started circulating on social media. Kamal Haasan, who tweeted a condolence message, then deleted it. His family, however, published a statement stating that he is alive.

Sarath Babu, a veteran actor, is now hospitalised and getting treatment for age-related ailments. On May 3, news of his death spread on social media. Fans and celebrities were eager to express their sympathies on social media. Later, Sarath Babu's sister denied his death and stated that he is recovering. Kamal Haasan was one of the celebs that bought into the scam. He later removed his tweet.

On April 20, the actor, who had been ill for some months, was flown from Bengaluru to Hyderabad and admitted to AIG. According to reports, Sarath Babu had sepsis, which affected the function of his kidneys, lungs, liver, and other organs. He is said to be receiving therapy for multi-organ damage.

He has been admitted to the hospital for the second time recently. He had previously been hospitalised at a hospital in Chennai. For the uninitiated, Sepsis is a serious medical illness that need prompt care; else, it can result in multi-organ failure and be fatal.
