Hyderabad: Veteran filmmaker Dasari Narayana Rao is undergoing treatment at a private hospital for respiratory and kidney problems.
Dasari, who was admitted to KIMS (Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences), was responding well to the treatment. The 74-year-old filmmaker has been on ventilator support and has undergone a chest surgery, according to hospital authorities.
"Following infection in lungs and kidneys, he has been admitted. He has been given ventilator support and he is reacting to the treatment well. He is likely to recover in a couple of days," the hospital authorities said on Tuesday evening.
Actor Mohan Babu, who is Dasari’s protégé, visited the hospital and appealed people to pray for his mentor’s health.
“He is film icon and he should live for 100 years,” Mohan Babu said. Others who visited the hospital on Tuesday included TS minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, actor Jayasudha and producers Allu Aravind and Ramasatyanarayana.
Dasari holds a record of directing over 125 films and producing 50 other. Some of his best films include ‘Premabhishekam,’ ‘Meghasandesham’, ‘Osey Ramulamma’ and ‘Tata Manavadu’ among others.
He had recently announced his plans to make a biopic on the late actress and former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.
