We miss you Superstar!

Krishna, not only was an actor in over 350 films, but also had produced, directed and established a revered studio like Padmalaya. More than his achievements, he's remembered for his elephantine memory, generosity for his industry counterparts, simplicity and his heartfelt smile. There can be none like him.
