Deep and sincere condolences to Sastry Garu.

May his soul rest his peace.

his acting was superb in padamati sandhya ragam..he could have been maro sutti veerabhdara rao for telugu cinema(one must remember that sutti veerbhadra rao dubbed his voice in padmati sandhya.... nad it suited him perfectly)

For padamati sandhya raagam they have taken lot of pains during the making of that movie. I saw that movie in sudharshan 70mm when it was released. may his soul rest his peace.

RIP! I met Sastry garu during his preparations for AAII. A great soul whose sense of humor was intact despite his age. My deepest condolences to Durga garu and other family members and friends. And thanks "Telugu Cinema" for this write up - the only telugu movie site which had the decency of remembering a non celebrity movie personality like Sastry garu.

I had the opportunity of meeting Sastry garu in June 2008. His Padamati Sandhya Ragam will go as one of the best classics of telugu film history. My condolences to the family and RIP.
