They rushed to the departed soul's Kukatpally residence after knowing the news.
"Shocked at the demise of John. I can't believe it. Action was all about passion for John and he never got enticed by the glamour of the entertainment world. He wasn't lured by money but became an actor just because he was devoted to the craft. He gave a superb performance on par with senior actors in our movie 'Raktham'. He was a workaholic. He was associated with a corporate company. He is survived by a 9 year old daughter. It was his parents' wedding anniversary today. He went to the Church in the morning", Sunita Krishnan added.
