The demise of senior PRO BA Raju has left some of the biggest names of Tollywood shocked. On Saturday, they took to social media and expressed their heartfelt condolences.

Chiranjeevi said that there is nobody in the film industry who doesn't know of BA Raju. "He used to share a lot of things about the industry with me during my Madras days. I used to learn a lot of new things from him. He would appear on the sets of my film and have light conversations with me," Chiru said. The Megastar added that Raju was a knowledge bank who would recall the monetary figures netted by old classics just like that. "He was a film encyclopedia who would have release dates, box-office figures and other details about films on fingertips," Chiru said.
