Telugu film industry has mourned the untimely demise of writer-director Nandyala Ravi, who breathed his last on Friday morning. He was hospitalised in Hyderabad due to complications related to the coronavirus infection, said a website.
Ravi is survived by his wife, daughter and son. Reportedly, he was facing financial crisis during his hospitalisation, and was helped by comic actor Saptagiri, who donated Rs 1 lakh for Ravi’s treatment.
