Telugu actor Ravi Teja’s father, Bhupathiraju Rajagopal Raju, died on July 15. He was 90. Rajagopal was battling age-related ailments, according to India TV. He breathed his last at his residence in Hyderabad. His death comes eight years after the tragic road accident of his younger son, Bharath. Ravi Teja is the eldest of three sons.
