Recently, Reddy had done a photoshoot of himself in various attires. His son is soon going to make a debut in an upcoming Kannada movie. While posting the pictures on his social media handle, Reddy wrote, “Ravi Varma has garnered several accolades and titles from all around the globe. Both the British and Indian Royal families invited Ravi Varma to paint portraits of their families during the British Raj. They’d be astounded to see their finely painted family pictures”.

“Ravi Varma’s paintings of erudite, traditionally dressed attractive ladies became internationally recognised.
