Reportedly, Allu Kanakaratnam passed away in the wee hours of Saturday at her residence in Hyderabad. She was 94 and reportedly died due to age-related ailments.
Several media reports have also stated that Allu Arjun was in Mumbai for the filming of his upcoming film AA22xA6 with Atlee when he heard the shocking news of grandmother's death. He immediately rushed back to Hyderabad to attend the last rites.

In December 2024, when Allu Arjun returned home after spending a night in jail in connection with the Sandhya Theatre stampede case, his grandmother was seen getting emotional and performing a ritual to ward off the evil eye.
The actor then hugged his grandmother and walked inside his house along with her.
