Popular comedian/director/screenwriter Cochin Haneefa passed away today at Sree Ramachandra Medical Hospital at 1.30PM, Chennai.  He was admitted few days back due to liver related problems.

His real name is Salim Ahmed Ghoush and he is 59 years old. He started his acting career as a Villain later then changed his tracks to comedy roles.  He has acted in more than 300 films including Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu. His interest in acting started earlier from school days where he used to perform mono acting in Alberta school.

 He pursued a graduation in Botony from the college of Alberta. He was not only a remarkable comedian but also a good director and screen writer. His best work in direction was “valsalyam” with megastar Mammotty.  Before the news was confirmed TV channels aired that Cochin Haneefa expired and later apologized for the unconfirmed news. He was serious by then but after few hours sources confirmed that he passed away.
