Tollywood's ace lyricist Sirivennala Seetharama Sastry passed away a few hours ago. He breathed his last at 04:07 PM at the KIMS hospital at the age of 66. He battled with lung cancer and also faced pneumonia health issues. Last week he was admitted to the hospital and for the last few days, he was in ICU and placed on ECMO. Even though doctors tried their best to save him, the infection spread all his body. He worked in more than 3000 movies and won 11 Nandi Awards and a National Award.

Athi goppa geetha rachayita.
Anthaku minchina manchi vyakti.
Konni vela adbhuthamaina paatalu raasaru.
Chaala premaga matladathaaru.
Manasu chaala bharuvuga undandi, meeru ika leru ante.
Mee saahityam dwara eppatiki ma mansulo undipothaaru".
