Veteran Kannada actor Harish Rai, known for his powerful performances in films like Om and KGF, passed away on Thursday at the age of 55. The actor had been courageously fighting stage 4 thyroid cancer for more than a year and was receiving treatment at the Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology in Bengaluru. Despite undergoing chemotherapy and palliative care, reports indicate that the illness had spread to his stomach and other organs in recent months.

Harish Rai had spoken openly about the immense physical and financial challenges he faced during his treatment. In an earlier interview, he revealed that a single injection cost approximately ₹3.55 lakh, and each treatment cycle required three injections over 63 days — totaling nearly ₹10.5 lakh per cycle. Patients in similar stages, he explained, often needed up to 20 injections, pushing the overall cost close to ₹70 lakh. – KGF Movie Actor Harish Rai Passes Away

Addressing media reports about financial assistance from KGF star Yash, Rai clarified that although he hadn’t reached out to him during his latest treatment, the two shared a warm and respectful friendship. “Yash has helped me before. I can’t keep asking him again and again. He’s a generous person, and if he knew about my situation, he would surely come forward. He’s just one call away, even though he’s busy with Toxic,” Rai had said. – KGF Movie Actor Harish Rai Passes Away

Throughout his illustrious career, Harish Rai worked across Kannada, Tamil, and Telugu cinema. His filmography includes memorable titles such as Om, Samara, Bangalore Underworld, Jodihakki, Raj Bahadur, Sanju Weds Geetha, Swayamvara, Nalla, and both chapters of KGF.

Rai’s passing marks a deep loss for the Kannada film industry, where he was celebrated for his versatility and compelling portrayals, particularly in negative and character-driven roles. Fans and colleagues remember him not only as a talented actor but also as a humble and resilient individual who faced life’s toughest challenges with dignity and courage.
