By now, it is already known that Indian government has announced that Telugu film actor Kota Srinivas Rao was conferred with Padma Sri Award. A recipient of six Andhra Pradesh government Nandi awards, Kota is known for his versatile roles ever since he made debut with 1978 film Pranam Khareedu.
As he starred in more than 500 films before he got this Padma award, Film Industry folks are excited to talk for him now. Many big stars have personally called Kota on phone to wish him while social-network addicts started sharing their moments with Kota on various film locations and wished him. Though he got the award late, its good than never.
