Most producers are unsung heroes, rarely coming into the limelight. Quietly and without much news, one of the prominent producers of yesteryears, Devadas Reddy, passed away at his residence in Subramanyanagara, Bengaluru.
Devadas Reddy of Manjusri Productions produced several notable films such as Muththinantha Manushya (starring Tiger Prabhakar and Bharathi Vishnuvardhana), Manmatha Raja (Kashinath and Sudharani), Amara Prema (Kumar Bangarappa and Chandrika), Mamaravello Kogile Ello (Ramkumar and Shruthi), Bevu Bella (Jaggesh and Ragini), among others. He remained largely unrecognized throughout his career, paving the way for many other talents.
The final rites were performed at Harischandra Ghat after his son’s arrival from the USA. The KFCC deeply expressed its condolences on the passing of Devadas Reddy.
