NTR made his debut as an actor in a Telugu social film Mana Desam, directed by L. V. Prasad in 1949. He gained popularity in the 1950s when he became well known for his portrayals of Hindu deities, especially Krishna and Rama,roles which have made him a "messiah of the masses" in Andhra Pradesh.

Acting career

  1. NTR started his film career playing a small role as a police sub-inspector in the movie Mana Desam (1949). The role was offered by director L. V. Prasad. Following this, he appeared in Palletoori Pilla, directed by B. A. Subba Rao.[9] It marked the first occasion that Rama Rao and his contemporary Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR) acted together for the first time.
  2. Some of these films are Devudu Chesina Manushulu (1973), Adavi Ramudu (1977), Sardar Paparayudu (1980), Justice Chowdhary (1982) and Bobbili Puli (1982). He also portrayed fantasy roles, his notable films in that genre being Yamagola (1977) and Superman (1980).
  3.  NTR only received three awards in his lifetime, with only one awarded for his success as an actor, a Filmfare South Award for Best Telugu Actor in 1972 for the film Badi Panthulu. He won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu for the film Varakatnam as a director in 1968. Though he won the Padma Shri that year for his contribution to Indian cinema, he never won a Nandi Award, the film awards which are given annually by the Government of Andhra Pradesh. He also never won a Dadasaheb Phalke Award. 

Political career

  1. NTR entered politics in early 1982, following widespread reports in the media about his mulling an entry into politics. He founded theTelugu Desam Party (TDP) on 29 March 1982 in Hyderabad. 
  2. The TDP again won with a massive majority in those elections, with NTR winning from 3 seats; Hindupur,[27] Nalgonda[28] and Gudivada.[22] Senior Leaders of the Congress in the state including former Chief Ministers Kasu Brahmananda Reddy and Kotla Vijaya Bhaskara Reddy lost in their constituencies of Narasaraopet and Kurnool respectively to the TDP.
  3. NTR completed his five-year term as Chief Minister. In the December 1989 assembly elections however, he was voted out of power due to a wave of anti-incumbency sweeping the state and the Congress returned to power.
  4. NTR's third term only lasted 9 months. On 23 August 1995, NTR was unceremoniously removed as Chief minister. NTR's son-in-law Nara Chandrababu Naidu engineered an internal party coup against him and took over as Chief Minister on 1 September 1995. He was also chosen as president of the TDP by party members

he don’t believe in luck. I am a self-made man. I believe in my talent and hard work.

he is lazy unless he am passionate about something. he sign films that fuel my passion, and that’s why he give 200%! As an actor, he am very proactive. he believe in homework, in rehearsals, and in following up with consistency.

Aamir Khan is an inspiration. He is a hands-on actor, and he am very comfortable with him. His achievement have strangely made him very humble and easy to work with, which is a boon!

he don’t believe in the star system. hemay be wasted the next 25 years of my life and career if he had tried to be a star. he am here to be a creative professional. Currently, I want to make my name as an acting talent to be reckoned with.

he still nurture dreams of becoming a director someday. I did not expect to be an actor. Now that it has happened, I want to be the best at it that he can be.he am learning everyday.

he came into this line of work because this is my passion, and my dream. he  knew in my heart that he will be good at whatever he put my heart and soul into the world. Success is not a divine phenomenon. It rests  in your ability and ambition.
