He said, "On Saturday night, he had his favourite food and while handing over the plate, he had fallen back. He breathed his last".

He also added, "First one is NTR. Second is food. Third most favourite is jokes. My father had great moments with NTR. He had the best food of his life. He shared several jokes with people around him."

Speaking about his father's nature, he said, "When we were kids, we didn't know about our father fully. But only after I came into the industry, I started knowing more about him. People who had worked with him and happened to work with me used to share several good deeds of him and his helping nature. He had never shared these things with us when we were kids. That's his greatness."

Finally, he said that his father's last movie was in his directorial itself. Chalapathi Rao took part in the shooting for five days. Ravi Babu also said that his sisters settled in US and they will be back on Tuesday night so, the last rites will be taken place on Wednesday!
