Nandamuri Taraka Ratna passed away a few days back and left his young wife and kids in a lot of grief. His cousin, NTR, and uncle Balakrishna have canceled their shoots for the next few weeks or so. The funeral was held yesterday and the entire Nandamuri clan along with several politicians paid respects to the young actor.

Nandamuri Taraka Ratna was slowly but steadily finding his feet back into films as he started doing character roles. He also did an OTT show called 9 hours on Hotstar where he won decent appreciation for his performance as a cop. Not many know that he was in talks for a few biggies as well. One of them is the Prabhas film Project K which is being directed by Nag Ashwin.

The fantasy drama is being produced by veteran producer Ashwini Dutt, and he in an interview, has revealed that his team held talks with Taraka Ratna for a key role in Project K. But sadly, he passed away and the project could not happen for the young actor. Project K has Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan in key roles and would have been a massive turnaround in Taraka Ratna's career.

Taraka Ratna holds the Guinness book of world records as eight films of his were launched in a single day. But as most of them were flops, his career was pushed behind and he was away from the limelight for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind to enter politics and also decided to contest the upcoming elections. But he lost his life at a roadshow in Kuppam and left everyone related to him in a lot of grief.
