Kota Srinivasa Rao Demise: Kota Srinivasa Rao, a towering figure in Telugu cinema, breathed his last at his residence at 4:00 am today after battling health issues for some time. His passing has left the film and political circles in deep shock. From Chief Ministers to celebrated actors, many have taken to social media to express their grief and pay respects.
Megastar Chiranjeevi was among the first to respond. “The news that legendary actor Kota Srinivasa Rao is no more is very disturbing. He and I started our film careers at the same time with the film ‘Pranam Khareedhu’. He acted brilliantly, whether it was a comedy, a villain, or a supporting character. The film industry will never be able to fill the void left by Kota Srinivasa Rao,” he said.
Veteran comedian Brahmanandam personally visited Kota Srinivasa Rao’s residence and paid his last respects, visibly emotional as he recalled their bond. Alongside him, Rajendra Prasad also offered condolences to the grieving family.
Tanikella Bharani, after paying tribute, poignantly remarked to the media, “The fortress of the film industry has collapsed. Born in the common middle class, his rise to the pinnacle of cinema step by step is very inspiring. I wish his soul peace and may God grant courage to his family members.”
