Veteran Telugu actor Kota Srinivasa Rao died at 83 in Hyderabad due to age-related illness. With over 750 films to his credit, he was a pillar of Indian cinema.

Though Kabzaa (2023) was his last release, his final on-screen role will be in the upcoming Hari Hara Veera Mallu: Part 1 – Sword vs Spirit with Pawan Kalyan. Fittingly, his debut film Pranam Khareedu starred Chiranjeevi, completing a career arc with both Mega brothers.

Celebrities like Brahmanandam and Babu Mohan visited his home to pay tribute. Fans now look forward to his last appearance in HHVM.
