I am deeply pained personally hearing the sad news. He is the pride of Telugu people. There is no element in the cinema industry which he not touched. He lived like cinema as his life and world. He carved a special image for himself in the media department and as a politician as well. The director, who born in a middleclass family, had established himself as a minister. I like his hard working nature. My family members and I had been associated with dasari Narayana Rao garu since my childhood. Let us walk in his footsteps fulfilling his ideals. My sympathy and condolences to the family of Dasari Narayana Rao
garu. I pray for his soul to rest in peace.”
