His contribution to the industry as a producer and distributor is memorable and will never be forgotten. He shares a big role in the success of Simhadri. May his soul rest in peace, my condolences to his family.)

Rajamouli too reminisced of his association with the late Raju. He shared, “As a distributor Doraswami Raju garu released an incredible 1000+ movies. He also produced some of the great telugu movies ever. Seetha Ramayya gari Manavaraalu, Annamayya are a few of the gems from his VMC banner. I am fortunate to be associated with him for my career-changing Simhadri...My heartfelt condolences to his family.”(sic)
