Actor and a close associate of Chiranjeevi, Hari Prasad took his last breadth at around 11:00 PM yesterday, dated August 17, 2008. It's learnt that the actor was fasting for about four days, and attended a TV studio in Hyderabad to deliver a speech in favour of Chiru and his political party. But he fainted on the spot without delivering his speech. He was immediately rushed to the hospital but expired due to cardiac arrest. Hari Prasad had worked for many films in Telugu and Kannada as well. Being a close friend to Chiru, he even produced a superhit film 'Yamudiki Mogudu' with Chiru. He is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter. May his soul rest in eternal peace!
