Telugu movie superstar Krishna passed away into the ages at a Hyderabad hospital on November 15. He was 79.

The Telugu film industry paid rich tribute to the legend on social media:

Chiranjeevi: This is a tragedy beyond words. I can't believe that Superstar Krishna is leaving us. He is a good hearted Himalayan mountain. Vupiri is synonymous with adventure and bravery. Courage, adventure, Perseverance, humanity, goodness.

Such a great man is rare not only in the Telugu film industry, but in the Indian film industry as well.

A tearful tribute to Krishna who has done many adventures to make the Telugu film industry proud.

My deepest condolences and condolences to my brother Mahesh Babu, all his family members and his innumerable fans, wishing his soul to rest in peace.

Pawan Kalyan: The fact that Mr Krishna, who earned the title of a superstar in cinema, has breathed his last is deeply saddened. Knowing that Shri Krishna was admitted to the hospital due to illness, I hoped that he would recover. Now I had to hear this sad news.

I pray to God to grant peace to the holy soul of Shri Krishna. Shri Krishna was very friendly and gentle with everyone.

Shri Krishna's services as a protagonist, producer, director and studio head for the development of the Telugu film industry are memorable. He introduced new technology in the heyday of Telugu cinema.

Sri Krishna Garu, who played different roles, brought a new experience to the Telugu audience with the stories of Cowboy and James Bond. He also made his mark in public life as a Member of Parliament.

The death of Mr Krishna, who wished for the well-being of the film industry, is a great loss to the Telugu film industry.

On my behalf and on behalf of the Janasena, I express my deepest condolences to his son Shri Mahesh Babu and other family members.

Rakul Singh: Superstar Krishna no more condolences to @urstrulyMahesh sir and his family. It's heartbreaking for every fan. Thnkyouuuuu sir for your contribution to Indian cinema. There will be no one like you. RIP
