TL;DR:Ā Legendary media boss š¼ Ramoji Rao wasnāt just about building big businesses š ā he was about controlling stories, people, and politics š. From #Eenadu to #ETV to #RamojiFilmCity, everything was a part of his silent power empire š°. His passing marks the end of a major chapter š in Andhra-Telangana history! š

Yaaro, š you remember the naam #RamojiRao, right? š¤ The man behind #Eenadu š°, #ETV šŗ, #RamojiFilmCity š„ and so much more? š„ Well, Ramoji Rao garu, who passed away in June 2024 š¢, wasnāt just a media man, bro. He was a full-time empire builder š° using money šø and businesses just like tools to build power! š£
Inka, š§ every single thing he touched - from small #PriyaPickles šÆ to the giant #MargadarsiChitFund š¦ - wasnāt about paisa alone. š« It was about kaun story batayega, kaun suneega aur kaun command karega! š¢ That's the level of control this man wanted, and lowkey, achieved it too! š„
In Hyderabadās sweltering summers š, even top Telugu stars š were shown the door šŖ from #RamojiFilmCity if producers didnāt pay their bills š§¾. Business is business, he would say, with no partiality at all! š¤ One small invoice? Gone! š Legend has it that he personally ordered many evictions himself. š±
Imagine guys, š½ļø growing up in the ā80s and ā90s, you couldnāt escape his naam! šāāļø His #Eenadu newspaper was basically another political party š³ļø ā a kingmaker without contesting elections! š In Andhra and Telangana, if Eenadu supported you, bhai you had full chances of becoming CM! š
š” Fun fact: His dream wasn't to be famous like filmi heroes š¬... His dream was to become inevitableĀ ā like electricity ā” or water š§! No escape only! š
Over the decades, Ramoji Rao created invisible pipelines connecting his movies š„ (#UshaKiranMovies), news š° (#Eenadu), TV šŗ (#ETV), finance š¦ (#Margadarsi), hotels šØ (#DolphinHotels), and of course, entertainment megaspaces š° (#RamojiFilmCity). š All these businesses became his private power grid! šŖ
But listen š, all this was not without some serious vibes of feudal mindset š¬. Owning control over peopleās opinions is not a small thing, especially when you are building media empires during politically turbulent times. š
In the ā80s, #Eenadu was the biggest champion of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) š¾ under NTR garu. š His newspaper didnāt just report news, it shaped politics directly! š³ļø
Critics often said he played kingmaker š without ever entering the public space officially. š¤ Even Congress suffered badly because of his anti-Congress campaigns back in the day! š
Still, mass lo he was seen like a visionaryĀ leader, somebody who gave a major boost š to Telugu pride š when the Hindi heartland dominated national media! šļø
š MediaFx Take:From working class pov, 𤲠Ramoji Rao represented how big capitalists 𤵠use information as power ā” to control people. š¬ Instead of giving platform to ordinary voices š¢, media under him many times served the interests of the elite š”. For true socialism and democracy ā, media should be by the people, for the people, not by billionaire bosses! š©
