Pasupuleti Ramarao, the well-known film journalist, writer, and PRO, passed away at a private hospital in Hyderabad on Tuesday morning.  He was admitted to the hospital at Vanasthalipuram due to a urinary infection.  His body has been brought to his residence at Indira Nagar.    

Condolences are pouring in from the film industry and media world.  Megastar Chiranjeevi has described Ramarao as his "aathma bandhuvu".  

"After coming to know that Ramarao garu was too unwell and that he couldn't walk properly, I referred him to a doctor.  He had to undergo knee surgery and was waiting for his elder sister to recover from an illness.  I used to like him as much as he used to respect me.  He named his son in such a way that it refers to the names of us three brothers.  The name is Kalyan Naga Chiranjeevi.  I never saw him just as a journalist.  He was an embodiment of honesty and sincere dedication," the 'Sye Raa' actor said, adding that he will be there to help his family always.
