Veteran
screenwriter
and
SS
Rajamouli's
father
KV
Vijayendra
Prasad
has
been
making
news
ever
since
his
interview
for
a
TV
show.
After
his
'dynamic'
statements
about
Pawan
Kalyan
and
the
highly
anticipated
film
RRR,
what
has
now
grabbed
the
attention
is
his
remark
about
his
late
wife
Raja
Nandini.
Revealing
his
own
caste,
the
writer
opened
up
that
he
never
really
asked
about
his
wife's
caste.
Stating
that
he
knew
that
she
hailed
from
a
different
caste
he
said
that
he
never
felt
like
inquiring
about
it.
In
his
interaction,
he
said,
"One
day
she
addressed
Chiranjeevi
as
'Ma
Chiranjeevi'
to
which
I
became
curious
and
asked
her
why
she
said
so.
To
this,
she
revealed
that
she
belonged
to
Kapu
caste
and
therefore
she
addressed
Chiranjeevi
so."
(sic)
Later
during
his
interaction,
Vijayendra
Prasad
turned
emotional
as
he
recalled
his
wife's
unfortunate
death
and
revealed
that
she
had
slipped
into
coma
for
almost
6
months.
Apparently,
Rajamouli's
mother
passed
away
following
a
heart
stroke.
The
writer
expressed
that
though
she
saw
a
little
of
her
son's
success,
it
would
have
been
a
special
moment
if
she
had
witnessed
Baahubali.
On
a
related
note,
Vijayendra
Prasad
is
currently
awaiting
the
release

his
two
