Tarakaratna Left Without Fulfilling Balayya Wish

Nandamuri Tarakaratna has breathed his last on 18th February after fighting for his life for more than three weeks. He was launched with a dozen films at a single day with much Nandamuri fanfare two decades ago. Later on he has moved to various roles and made his presence felt in the film industry. But, he bif adieu to films and decided to enter politics. He wanted to contest as an MLA in upcoming state elections. Meanwhile on the first day of Lokesh 's tour, he suffered massive heart attack and shifted to hospital. 

Nandamuri Balakrishna shares a close bonding with Tarakaratna. It is NBK who looked after everything while Tarakaratna is in the hospital. Before all this, Balayya wanted Tarakaratna to do a role in his upcoming film NBK 108 in Anil Ravipudi's direction.  He even instructed Anil to pen a good role for Tarakaratna in the film. This is revealed by Anil Ravipudi himself. But, fate has other plans. Tarakaratna left us before fulfilling his and his babai's wishes.

As Tarakaratna moved to politics from films, if everything went as per plan #Nbk108 could be his last film. Tarakarathna's last rites were performed at Mahaprasthanam in the presence of family members.
