Cardiac arrest at 71 is a wake-up call for all of us. We need to prioritize health. A legend is gone. 'Raitu Bharatham' was a fantastic film that highlighted farmers' issues. We need more producers like him who back meaningful cinema.

His debut film 'Santhanam' with Rajendra Prasad garu was a classic comedy! Grew up watching his movies. The man had a vision. A producer, director, and analyst - such a versatile personality is rare. Deepest condolences to the family.
