Theatre and film artiste Khalid died on a movie set near Vaikom on Friday, police said.

He was 70.

Khalid, known for his role in a popular Malayalam comedy serial, was acting for a Tovino-starrer at Vaikom near here, sources said.

“He was found lying in the bathroom of the movie set at around 9.30 am today. The crew members took him to a nearby hospital but could not save his life,” police said.

Well-known cinematographer Shyju Khalid, director Khalid Rahman and cinematographer Jimshi Khalid are his sons.

The post-mortem and inquest proceedings are going on, police said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
