Death is always shattering. More so if it is of young and talented persons.

Tollywood plunged into deep sorrow as up and coming director Konda died of massive heart attack early Tuesday morning.

Konda, in his early thirties, was one of the talented breed of directors that Tollywood has thrown up recently.

His sudden demise has sent shock waves across the industry

Konda had directed NinneIstapaddanu with Tarun and Sridevi in the leads. That was his first film.

He was currently involved in Clean Bowled that was set for release this December.

The film was almost complete and only the songs needed to be shot.

Now the unit will be back after hearing the news of the director's demise.

Tollywood dignitaries also paid their homage to Konda.
