Prabhas fans and action movie lovers of Telugu Cinema, can never forget the epic first half of Chatrapati. It is still referred as the best action episodes ever made by SS Rajamouli after a film like Baahubali. The movie even after 13 years, is still fresh in the minds of the audiences. Many still mimic Prabhas’s popular dialogue, ‘Okka Adugu’, from the film. For movie to become such a phenomenon, the villains in the movie have also helped. We cannot take away the character of Baji Rao, a crude villain from the movie.
Well, such iconic character is portrayed by actor, Narendra Jha. He is a Bihar stage actor who shifted to Mumbai to pursue his acting career with serious interest. He died in the morning hours of 14th March, due to cardiac arrest. He is 55 years old and succeeded by wife. We do not know if he has kids. The actor is famous in TV Serials and has been part of Shyam Benegal films too in 90’s.
He entered Tollywood as a villain and acted in Tarak’s Yamadonga as well. In both the films, Chatrapati and Yamadonga, his looks and his acting are both strong and menacing. It is too early to lose such an actor. Many on social media expressed their deep condolences to the actor’s family. We also express our deep condolences to the actor. May his soul, rest in peace.
