In a video shared by Star Maa on Saturday, Nagarjuna said, “We no longer have the blessing to be able to hear his voice but I am sure the celestial beings are enjoying his music. Keep him safe dear Lord, keep our Balu safe.” The video features SPB’s photos with his songs playing in the backdrop while Nagarjuna pays his tribute.

The news of the legendary singer’s passing was shared through an official statement from MGM Healthcare, where SPB was undergoing treatment. Later, SPB’s son SP Charan shared with reporters present at the hospital that his father now “belongs to everyone. He will live on in his songs.”

On Friday, Nagarjuna took to Twitter and expressed, “As the memories and conversations with Balu Garu come flooding back, so do the tears… I still remember the call I got from him after my film Annamayya. He was such an unsaid integral part of my life…”

The homage will be paid in the Saturday’s episode of Bigg Boss Telugu 4.
