So, when Dasari Padma passed away, the protocol was maintained in good way. Though few junior artists tried to create a scene, they were silenced. However, that was not the case when Akkineni Annapurna passed away. It is heard that the veteran actor Mada Venkateswara Rao caused a major ruckus.
Known for his eunuch roles onscreen, it is heard that Mada exploded with loud bouts of weeping. Those who were around were reportedly embarrassed at the happening and that included even the Akkineni family members. As expected, the media folks were reportedly unable to figure out why Mada created such a scene when Akkineni folks were composed and looked okay.
