The actor-director known for films such as AK 47, Lockup Death, Kalasipalya, Huchcha and Jilladhikari had already been dealing with a leg-related health concern and was reportedly finding it difficult to move around the house. Reports have also pointed to the season’s aircraft-themed setting, where Om Prakash Rao was spending much of his time, as part of the circumstances surrounding his discomfort. However, the exact medical reason for his hospitalisation has not been officially established.
