Unfortunately, despite Prabhas' financial support, the family is still facing the biggest challenge, and that is finding a suitable kidney donor. Sravanthi shared that so far, they have not found a match within the family or outside.
The daughter also issued an emotional request to other stars from the industry to extend a helping hand, saying, "I kindly ask that celebrities like Jr. NTR, Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun, and Chiranjeevi come forward. With them, my father has acted in a number of good movies. Now, though, nobody seems to give a damn. We require assistance, particularly in locating a donor."
