“Renowned director, actor, producer and former Minister Dasari Narayana Rao, who holds the record for directing highest number of films, died in Hyderabad yesterday. We were extremely shocked by the demise of Dasari Narayana Rao garu. He stood like a pillar to the Telugu film people. He has always been at the forefront to help the needy. He has always been very supportive to the small budget films. He is the person who wishes well to small producers. He stood as a big support to our AK Entertainment banner. His blessings were always there for our banner’s every film. We can’t say that Dasari Narayana Rao garu left us. He lives until cinema exists. His support and encouragement to our banner is unforgettable. We are dedicating ‘Andhhagadu’ to Dasari Narayana Rao garu. May his soul rest in peace!” - AK Entertainments
