Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu's father and veteran actor Krishna suffered a cardiac arrest on Sunday early in the morning and was brought to Continental Hospital in Gachibowli around 2 a.m. in an unconscious state.

A video clip of a doctor sharing an update about Krishna’s health condition has surfaced on social media. In the clip, he can be seen saying that Krishna was hospitalised due to cardiac arrest. He was revived after 20 minutes of CPR and is currently being monitored in the ICU. He will be kept under observation for 24 hours to share any further updates.

79-year-old Krishna, who has acted in over 300 films across his three-decade-long illustrious career, is considered Telugu cinema’s first superstar. Krishna was last seen on screen in the 2016 Telugu film, Sri Sri. Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu’s fans took to Twitter to send their best wishes to Krishna for a speedy recovery.

It is also notable that Last month, Krishna’s first wife and Mahesh Babu’s mother Indira Devi had died. She had been suffering from a prolonged illness, as per a statement released by the Ghattamaneni family following her demise.
