Superstar Chiranjeevi shared a long note on Twitter to offer condolences and shared how he couldn¡¯t believe that Krishna is no more.
Chiranjeevi shared a note in Telugu on Twitter where he wrote, "This is sad beyond words. It is unbelievable that the Superstar Krishna has left us. He is a person with a heart as big as the Himalayas. A Breath of adventure (This was a literal translation, read it as an adventurous soul), a synonym for bravery (a brave heart). Bravery, adventure, determination, humane, and goodness¡ he is a combination of all of this."
