"Following infection in lungs and kidneys, he has been admitted. He has been given ventilator support and he is reacting to the treatment well. He is likely to recover in a couple of days," the hospital authorities said on Tuesday evening.
Actor Mohan Babu, who is Dasari’s protégé, visited the hospital and appealed people to pray for his mentor’s health.
