BENGALURU:
The final rites of actor Chiranjeevi Sarja, who died on Sunday, will be performed in a farm house near Kanakapura at 1pm on Monday.

According to sources, the family of Chiranjeevi Sarja is waiting for Arjun Sarja and Chiru’s grandmother, currently in Chennai.
Speaking to thebengalurulive, Chief Secretary TM Vijay Bhaskar said Arjun Sarja will not be stopped from attending funeral even though he will be coming from Chennai.
