Media and cinema mogul Ramoji Rao passed away at 87 in Hyderabad on Saturday morning. He was undergoing treatment for the past few days and breathed his last in the wee hours of Saturday. The news of his demise came as a shock in the South film industry and many Telugu stars including Jr NTR and Chiranjeevi mourned the death of the media and cinema mogul. Kr NTR took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle and penned a post in Telugu language which loosely translated as, ”Visionaries like Sri Ramoji Rao are one in a million. A media tycoon and a giant of Indian cinema, his absence is irreparable. The news that he is no longer with us is very sad. I will never forget the memories when I was introduced to the Telugu film industry with the film ‘Ninnu Chhadalani’. May his soul rest in peace and convey my deepest condolences to his family.”
