The Telugu film fraternity came together to pay their final respects to Cherukuri Ramoji Rao, who passed away on Saturday morning, 8 June, in Hyderabad. SS Rajamouli, among the many film personalities paying tribute, suggested that the most fitting way to honour the late media baron would be by awarding him the Bharat Ratna — India’s highest civilian honour.
