Rao's journey to prominence was marked by pioneering achievements and unwavering dedication. Born in 1936, he rose to become the head of the Ramoji Group, a conglomerate that boasted the world's largest film production facility, Ramoji Film City. Additionally, he helmed the immensely popular Eenadu newspaper, a powerhouse in Telugu-language journalism.
His influence extended beyond the realms of media, as he was closely associated with prominent political figures like former Andhra Pradesh chief ministers NT Rama Rao and Chandrababu Naidu. Rao's strategic support through Eenadu newspaper was often credited with playing a pivotal role in the rise of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in the 1980s.
President Droupadi Murmu aptly captured the sentiment of the nation, expressing condolences and acknowledging the profound loss felt by India's media and entertainment sector. Rao's impact transcended boundaries, earning him recognition on a national scale with accolades such as the National Award and multiple Filmfare awards.
Under his stewardship, the ETV Network flourished, offering diverse content and captivating audiences across the country. His production company, Ushakiran Movies, contributed to the cinematic landscape with acclaimed works that garnered critical acclaim and audience adulation.
As his remains are shifted to his residence at Ramoji Film City, tributes pour in from across the spectrum of society. Political leaders, film personalities, and admirers alike gather to bid farewell to a titan whose legacy will endure through generations.
Ramoji Rao's vision, passion, and relentless pursuit of excellence have left an indelible mark on the fabric of Indian media and entertainment. His memory will be cherished, his contributions celebrated, and his influence everlasting.
