Renowned character artist Kota Srinivasa Rao breathed his last early this morning, leaving the Telugu film industry and countless admirers in mourning. Known for his exceptional versatility and compelling screen presence, Kota’s contribution to Indian cinema, particularly Telugu films, is truly irreplaceable.
Though his on-screen appearances had become rare in recent years, one of his final performances is expected to be seen in Hari Hara Veera Mallu, starring Pawan Kalyan. In a recent interview, Kota fondly recalled how director Krish personally approached him with a role in the film. Krish, who was helming HHVM at the time, had designed a special three-day character for Kota and requested his availability — a gesture that moved the veteran deeply.
Kota also shared his excitement about the project during the same interview, reflecting his continued passion for cinema even in the twilight of his career. Additionally, Kota shared a long-standing bond with director Harish Shankar, who is currently working on another Pawan Kalyan-starrer, Ustad Bhagat Singh. The duo had previously collaborated on the blockbuster Gabbar Singh, and speculation remains on whether Kota had any role in this upcoming project as well.
The Telugu film fraternity has expressed deep sorrow over the passing of Kota Srinivasa Rao, whose iconic performances and memorable characters have etched an everlasting mark in the annals of Indian cinema. His legacy will live on through the vast and diverse body of work he leaves behind.
