105 YEAR OLD VETERAN PRODUCER PASSES AWAY

He owned a production banner called Pratap Arts Productions and has funded over 30 movies with a majority of them turning out to be blockbusters.

K Raghava was born in 1913 and he left his home to Kolkata when he was just eight years old. After a few struggling years, he joined Silent Pictures as a trolley puller. He then found a job with the Maharaja of Mirzapur who was into filmmaking and after a lot of struggle, he eventually became a film producer.

K Raghava was conferred with the prestigious Raghupathi Venkaiah Award a few years back.

We express our deepest condolences to the family of the departed.
