RIP: Veteran Telugu Actor Passes Away

Some characters suit some actors the most. And one cannot even think of others doing those characters. Talented performers Saagiraju Ramaraju alias Mukku Raju certainly fall under the above said category. When we remember his name, his appearance with a nose stud and a cheap khadi dhoti flashes instantly. The actor had been suffering due to ill health since few days and passed away on Thursday morning in Hyderabad.

Mukku Raju is most remembered for his characters in R.Narayana Murthy films. The typical roles he played to portray the under privileged and down trodden people in the society won him a lot of acclaim for his make believe natural performance. Many films like ‘Oka Gramam’, ‘Cheemala Dandu’, ‘Orey Richshaw’, ‘Erra Sainyam’ and others are remembered for the characters that smell the mother earth’s rustic quality which is essayed by noble performers like Mukku Raju.

In fact, people forgot his real name and remember him as Mukku Raju for the impactful appearance he makes on screen as a common man from under privileged classes. His demise is a great loss to the industry. And he is one amongst those who will be remembered for not his original self but for the portrayal of the roles given to him. We the team of m9.news express our condolences and pray for his soul to rest in peace.
