TDP National General Secretary Nara Lokesh, who took part in the inaugural function of ‘Yuvagalam’ Padayatra, fell ill in Chittoor district Kuppam. Tarakaratna, who fell seriously ill while in the crowd, was taken to Kuppam Hospital and treated. From there he was shifted to Bangalore’s Narayana Hrudayalaya for better treatment. He was treated there for the last 22 days.
No matter how hard the doctors tried, they could not save Tarakaratna’s life. Since he was admitted to the hospital, his condition remained critical and he was treated in the ICU. Even though special medical teams were brought from abroad to provide better treatment, there was no result. Nandamuri’s family members and cinephiles are deeply saddened and Tarakaratna has gone to the worlds of no return.

As an actor, he got good recognition with the movie ‘Okato Number Kurradu’ released in 2002. Along with the response to the film, Tarakaratna also got a good name. After that he entertained with films like ‘Yuvaratna’, ‘Bhadradi Ramudu’, ‘Amaravati’ and others. Finally acted in a key role in ‘S5 No Exit’. Now he has become a character artist and is doing films. On the other hand, they are going to be busy in politics. He joined his family party Telugu Desam Party and became active in politics. They are also planning to contest in the next election. But in the meantime, tragedy struck.
