The Telugu film fraternity came together in Hyderabad to mourn the loss of Allu Kanaka Ratnamma, grandmother of actor Allu Arjun and mother of veteran producer Allu Aravind. A solemn prayer meets, the Pedda Karma ceremony, was held in her honor, drawing family, close friends, and several prominent personalities from the industry.

Among those present was megastar Chiranjeevi, who shared an emotional moment with his nephew, Allu Arjun. A widely circulated video captured Chiranjeevi embracing Arjun as they met at the family residence.

Allu Arjun, who had been in Mumbai, returned to Hyderabad immediately after the news of his grandmother’s demise. He was seen arriving at the family home to pay his last respects, joining his father Allu Aravind and other members of the Mega-Allu family.

The gathering was marked by its atmosphere of grief and remembrance. Family members stood together in front of a floral backdrop featuring a portrait of Kanaka Ratnamma, as prayers and rituals were performed.

Industry colleagues and friends expressed their condolences, highlighting Kanaka Ratnamma’s role as the matriarch who stood as a pillar of strength behind the family’s success. Her passing has left a void not only in the Allu household but also in the hearts of countless admirers who follow the family’s contributions to Indian cinema.
