Kantha Rao is no more
TK Kantha Rao (86) – one of the greatest heroes of folklore yore in Telugu cinema – passed away on the night of 22 March. He has been suffering from lungs cancer for the past few months. He was being treated in Yasodha hospital for the past four days. He was born in Gudibanda (Nalgonda district) on 16 November 1923. He made his debut in films with HM Reddy’s film Nirdoshi with a small role. His first film as hero was Pratigna. His films in the direction of Vithalacharya were big commercial hits and earned him the coveted tag ‘Janapada Brahma’. He also won national award for his work in Lavakusa film. He acted in more than 400 films so far. The Government of Andhra Pradesh felicitated him with Raghupati Venkaiah award in 2000. Though a great and successful actor, TL Kantharao was plagued with financial problems in the last few decades due to his lack of financial planning when he was a big hero. May his soul rest in peace.
