Kota Srinivasa Rao Death: The Telugu film industry is steeped in sorrow as it bids farewell to one of its towering figures, Kota Srinivasa Rao. Known for effortlessly shifting between laughter and menace on screen. Kota stood alone, a master of both comedy and villainy. Over a remarkable career spanning four decades and more than 750 films, he carved out a place in cinema that few could dream of. His talent wasn’t confined to acting. He also lent his voice as a singer and dubbing artist, proving time and again just how versatile he was.
Kota breathed his last this morning at his home in Filmnagar, leaving behind a void too deep to fill. As his mortal remains lie in state, a steady stream of film personalities and politicians are visiting to pay their respects. Emotional scenes unfolded as close friends like Babu Mohan and Brahmanandam stood by his side, openly shedding tears. Their grief stirred countless fans, many of whom gathered to catch one final glimpse of the legendary actor.
Even more poignant are the words Kota once spoke about life’s inevitable end, words that have resurfaced across social media in the wake of his passing.
“An artist has his time. When that time comes, you won’t have time left,”
he had reflected, emphasizing how vital personal conduct is in sustaining a career.
“If your behavior is good, you’ll continue to get work. Otherwise, you might lose everything and be left to beg. By God’s grace, that never happened to me.”
Kota also painfully recalled how some careless reports once announced his death while he was merely unwell.
“Someone said Kota Srinivasa Rao is dead and killed me while I was still alive. If I’m not well, I’ll say so myself. But it is cruel, is there anything worse than that?”
He had even phoned the person behind the false news to set the record straight, calling it an act that could hardly be forgiven.
Today, those very words echo with heartbreaking truth. The man who once stood strong against premature obituaries is no longer among us. It’s a loss that weighs heavily on every heart touched by his immense talent and humble wisdom. The industry has lost a pillar and audiences, a performer who could make them laugh, tremble, or weep with equal power.
