Veteran Telugu actor Krishnam Raju, paternal uncle to Baahubali fame Prabhas, was rushed to a private hospital in Hyderabad on Monday after he complained of breathlessness.

 The 76-year old, who has over 100 films to his credit, is undergoing treatment at Care hospital where doctors have kept him under observation.

Upon learning about his uncle's condition, Prabhas rushed to the hospital and spent nearly two hours there. Although Raju's condition is not worrisome, he's been advised to stay under observation for at least 48 hours.

Prabhas is very close to his uncle, who was instrumental in launching the career of the former. The duo even worked together in a Telugu film called Rebel. Raju, in the industry, is properly known as Rebel Star.
