Former cameraman P. Devaraj, who worked as a cinematographer for the films of many star heroes like Dharmendra, NTR, Krishna, Shobhan Babu, Chiranjeevi, Rajinikanth, Balakrishna, is currently in severe financial trouble. Devaraj, who is not even able to pay the house rent, recently told Suman TV about his sufferings. She shed tears saying that she would like to die because she could not bear this hardship. Megastar Chiranjeevi came to know about Devaraj after this interview and gave him financial support. Five lakhs of rupees were handed over. To this extent, he handed over the check along with Devaraj on Friday.
Devraj worked as a cameraman for Chiranjeevi’s films ‘Nagu’, ‘Pulibebbuli’, ‘Rani Kasula Rangamma’ and ‘Tingurangadu’. He has worked as a cinematographer for more than 300 films in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi and Bengali languages. But, due to family circumstances, they could not settle down financially. Ayara’s son is also not financially stable. He had an accident recently. After this accident he is not able to walk properly. The doctors said that an operation was required. Devaraj said that it will cost Rs.6 to Rs.7 lakhs. He said that he did not have the financial means to undergo the operation. Devaraj burst into tears saying that he does not know why he is alive.. he feels like dying.
However, when Chiranjeevi came to know about Devaraj’s financial condition, it was a great thing to give him Rs.5 lakhs. Megastar once again showed his generosity with this help. Megastar Chiranjeevi’s photo with Devaraj and his son is currently going viral on social media. Devraj’s father Sridhar is also a cinematographer. He worked as a cinematographer in the 1950s. After him Devaraj, his brother Sai and another younger brother became cinematographers. Among them, Sai is the husband of actress Jyotilakshmi. And, it is sad that a senior technician from a family who worked as big technicians in the industry is facing financial difficulties like this.
