Prasanna Kumar from Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC), told thenewsminute.com, "He was such a kind-hearted person yet straightforward when it comes to working. He was very close to me personally. It’s a big loss to the film industry. He is the official partner for Viacom18 and he is the leading distributor of Hollywood movies here. He has also worked in the distribution of movies in several other states too and has a strong base."
