Telugu Actor Ravi Teja's Father Passes Away At 90

Veteran Telugu actor Ravi Teja is mourning the loss of his father, Bhupathiraju Rajagopal Raju, who passed away on July 15 at their family residence in Hyderabad. He was 90.

Reports indicate that Rajagopal Raju had been unwell for some time. Although Ravi Teja hasn't issued an official statement, it's understood that he has paused his professional commitments to be with his family during this difficult time.

Ravi Teja's father led a life away from the public eye, despite his son's fame. Known for being a man of few words and many values, Rajagopal Raju was a retired government pharmacist. He lived quietly in Hyderabad with his wife, Rajya Lakshmi. The couple preferred to stay out of the limelight but were always a strong support system for their children.

Ravi Teja's Brother Dies In Car Crash

A few years ago, Ravi Teja's younger brother, Bharath Raju, died in a car accident. Now, with their father's passing, the family faces another wave of sorrow. Ravi Teja has reportedly halted work on his upcoming film 'Mass Jathara' to be with his loved ones.

In 2021, Ravi Teja shared a heartfelt photo on Father's Day featuring himself with his father and son — three generations together. The caption read "Happy Fathers Day." This simple image now serves as a cherished memory and tribute to Rajagopal Raju's quiet influence behind the scenes.

Upcoming Film Amidst Personal Loss

Details regarding the funeral and cremation have not yet been officially announced. Meanwhile, Ravi Teja's film 'Mass Jathara', directed by Bhanu Bhopavarapu and written alongside Nandu Savirigana, is highly anticipated by fans. The film promises high-voltage action and features Sreeleela as co-star.

Ravi Teja was recently spotted at Mumbai airport ahead of the release of another project titled 'Tiger Nageswara Rao'. Despite personal challenges, fans eagerly await his return to the screen with these exciting projects.
