Renowned poet and film lyricist Kandikonda Yadagiri left his last breath on Saturday. He has been suffering from several health issues for a long time and his sudden demise left everyone in shock.
Popular pop singer Smita took to Twitter and announced the sad news. She said, "With a heavy heart, i would like to inform the twitter and industry family that Lyricist Kandikonda garu is no more. Wishing for God to give his family strength to deal with the loss. OmShanti."
He was one of the few writers who brought Telangana flavor to Telugu songs. He penned many Bathukamma songs and wrote some super hits during his time. He fought with cancer for two years and suffered from paralysis recently. Due to the chemotherapy which was done during his fight with cancer, Kandikonda's C1, C2 parts in Spinal Cord got damaged badly. He couldn't walk at all and looked for financial support too.
With all these health ailments, Kandikonda passed away today (March 12th) and his last rites will be performed in Hyderabad on Sunday.
