He was the first Kannada producer who ventured to produce a Kannada film with a budget of more than ₹1 crore, which is why he was fondly called Crorepati Ramu or Koti Ramu.

I cannot imagine what Mallakka and the kids are going through.KFI lost a fantastic producer today. I will miss you Sir. Rest in peace” tweeted Kannada actor Srimurali.
