Director
Sukumar
recently
got
emotional,
as
his
longtime
friend
and
manager
Prasad
suddenly
passed
away
due
to
heart
attack
last
month.
His
sudden
demise
literally
broke
Sukumar
and
he
still
hasn't
recovered
from
the
shock.
Sadly,
due
to
the
lockdown,
he
couldn't
attend
Prasad's
last
rites.
Today,
on
Prasad's
birth
anniversary,
Sukumar
penned
a
heartwarming
farewell
post
for
his
dear
friend.
He
wrote
in
his
inimitable
Telugu
prose.
Sukumar
began
the
letter
with
"lekapovadam
ante
enti..modati
sari
ee
padam
nakartham
kakunda
poyindi
(What
is
the
meaning
of
"No
more"?
For
the
first
time
in
life,
I
have
not
understood
the
meaning
of
it.)"
Prasad
had
been
with
Sukumar
from
his
first
film
Arya
to
the
launch
of
Pushpa.
The
Allu
Arjun-starrer
is
yet
to
commence
its
regular
shooting
and
is
indeed
a
special
film
for
Allu
Arjun
as
well
as
Sukumar.
Pushpa
will
be
the
first
pan-India
project
of
the
stylish
star,
as
the
film
will
be
released
in
Telugu,
Tamil,
Kannada,
Malayalam
and
Hindi.
Talking
about
Pushpa,
the
film
also
stars
Rashmika
Mandanna
and
Dhananjay
in
key
roles.
Earlier,
there
was
a
strong
buzz
in
the
industry
that
Suniel
Shetty
will
be
playing
the
antagonist
in
Pushpa.
However,
the
official
confirmation
about
the
same
has
not
yet
come
from
the
makers.
The
report
published
in
a
leading
portal
also
suggested
that
Allu
Arjun
will
not
have
a
dance
number
in
Pushpa.
Well,
this
is
indeed
shocking
for
the
Stylish
Star
fans,
who
eagerly
wait
for
his
mass
moves.
Produced
under
the
banner
of
Mythri
Movie
Makers,
the
film
also
stars
Prakash
Raj,
Jagapati
Babu,
Harish
Uthaman,
Vennela
Kishore,
Anasuya
Bharadwaj
and
Anish
Kuruvilla
in
key
roles.
