Late Iron leg Sashtri’s family seeks financial help from film industry ADVERTISEMENT Comedian Late Iron leg Sashtri has carved out a successful career on his own with 150 films to his credit after he got a good break through his role as iron leg Shastri in EVV Satyanarayana’s ‘Appula Appa Rao’. He brought smiles on millions of faces with his comedy but in his life smile has become a luxury. Yes, the actor died due to cardiac arrest in June 2006 after he suffered with jaundice. Soon after that, his family appealed to film industry and AP Government for the financial support. However, there is no reaction either from the film industry or AP Government. Shastri is survived with his wife and two children. His family is on roads today. After his death, his wife has devoted her life to educate her two grown-up children. So she started cooking Prasadam in temples for their daily bread. But her profession as a cook did not help her to provide food and education to her children. Therefore the family is seeking financial support from the people of film industry and AP Government. So film industry people who want to approach Shastri’s family to provide financial support, you can reach Iron leg Shastri’s son G Sai Durga Prasad at 90001 78489.
