<span style="font-weight: bold;">Acting career</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Early beginnings (1978–1982)</span><br />
<br />
Siva Shankara Varaprasad was born as the eldest of three sons of Konidela Anjana Devi and Konidela Venkat Rao. Varaprasad was quite interested in acting at a very young age. After graduating with a degree in commerce, Chiranjeevi joined the Madras Film Institute in 1977. Since his family worshipped the Anjaneya, a Hindu God, his mother advised him to get the screen name of Chiranjeevi. Upon completion of his film training, he started his acting career with Punadhirallu (1978), however Pranam Khareedu (1978) released at the box office earlier. Immediately thereafter, he got an opportunity to work in Mana Voori Pandavulu that was directed by Bapu and written by Mullapudi Venkata Ramana. This film, which was based on the feudal system in the Indian society, helped Chiranjeevi to get the recognition. Tayaramma-Bangarayya (1979), I Love You (1979) and director K. Balachander's Idi Katha Kaadu (1979) brought his acting talents to the fore. In 1979, Chiranjeevi had eight major film releases. He followed up this trend in 1980 where 14 of his films released at the box-office. With his films like Punnami Naagu (1980), for which he won the Filmfare Award for Best Acting, and A. Kodandarami Reddy's Nyayam Kavali (1981), his performances were noticed by the critics. The audiences too developed a liking for his "ease in dance movements and swashbuckling fights." For his role in Mondi Ghatam (1982), his unique style of acting was much appreciated by the critics. Intlo Ramayya Veedilo Krishnayya (1982), directed by Kodi Ramakrishna, not only strengthened his position as a big star but also brought him lot of laurels. By 1982, he had appeared in almost 50 films. Within two years of his entry into the film industry, he married Surekha, daughter of well-known comedian Allu Rama Lingaiah.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Breakthrough to stardom (1983–2007)</span><br />
<br />
Khaidi (1983) brought immediate stardom to Chiranjeevi. Directed by Kodandarami Reddy, this film was based on the Sylvester Stallone-starrer First Blood (1982). Khaidi was a box-office success and gave Chiranjeevi an action hero's image. The duo of Reddy and Chiranjeevi worked together for 23 films, most of which were huge box office blockbusters. He was not happy doing only action films and hence he attempted a variety of roles and showed his acting skills in comedies too. After Khaidi, he successively delivered hits like Pasivadi Pranam (1987), Yamudiki Mogudu (1988), where he appeared in a dual role, and Manchi Donga (1988).<br />
<br />
His film, Rudraveena (1988), not only won the National Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration but also helped him win his second Nandi Award. Music director Illayaraja and singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam won Nandi Awards for the same film. In 1990, Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari, Kondaveeti Donga and Raja Vikramarka were his box-office successes. Gang Leader (1991) was a massive hit and critics even called him as the "boss of Telugu cinema". Owing to his ability to his box-office appeal, popular entertainment magazine, Filmfare, called him as "Bigger than Bachchan", a reference to Bollywood’s Amitabh Bachchan. News magazine The Week hailed him as "the new money machine". <br />
<br />
He acted in Hindi films too. His performances were appreciated in Prathibandh (1990), Aaj Ka Goonda Raj (1992) and The Gentleman (1994).<br />
<br />
For Muta Mesthri (1993) and Sneham Kosam (1999), he won Filmfare Awards. For his performance in Indra (2003), he won the Filmfare Award and the Nandi Award. These accomplishments established him as a leading actor of Telugu cinema. His last film in a leading role was in Shankar Dada Zindabad (2007). Chiranjeevi was honored with the Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian award. In 2006, he was presented with an honorary doctorate degree from Andhra University. <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Political career</span><br />
<br />
Chiranjeevi started his political party "Praja Rajyam" on 26 August 2008 amid huge fanfare at Avilala grounds, Tirupathi. Around Ten lakh people attended the party launch meeting. Chiranjeevi stated that Social justice as the main agenda of his party and he proved it by giving 104 MLA tickets to the backward sections in Andhrapradesh including a poor tribal woman 'Tupakula munemma'. He contested in 2009 general elections and won from Tirupati constituency as MLA in Andhra Pradesh. But the party got a major drubbing and could not make any major wins. Chiranjeevi himself contested from two different constituencies(Palakollu and Tirupati (city))in 2009 elections and lost in Palakollu. Praja rajyam got 18 MLA seats in the 2009 general elections. On December 10, 2009, Chiranjeevi changed his stand on telangana issue and stated that he wishes to see United AP forever. In May,2010, he conducted a mass educative rally in the coastal districts of AP for attaining national status for the prestigious 'Polavaram project'.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Philanthropy</span><br />
<br />
On October 2, 1998, he founded the Chiranjeevi Charitable Trust (CCT), which includes Chiranjeevi Blood and Eye Banks. It is the state's largest recipient of Blood and Eye Donations. The Blood Bank of the CCT helped over 80,000 people and the Eye Bank has helped about 1000 people in the state of Andhra Pradesh since its opening.<br />
<br />
So far around 3.5 lakh people have pledged their eyes to CCT so far, giving 1600 people eye sight through CCT. CCT has also won the "Best Voluntary Blood Bank Award" by the AP State Government for the past 4 years.<br />
<br />
On June 10, 2006, The President of India, Dr. Abdul Kalam, inaugurated the Chiranjeevi Charitable Foundation (CCF) at the Jubilee Hills Check post in Hyderabad.<br />
Recently chiranjeevi charitable trust has reached one more landmark by crossing the one lakh mark in collecting the blood and more than 96,000 people were helped with blood by this blood bank.<br />

Chiranjeevi introduced breakdancing to the Indian audience. In an era when fights looked childish to the audience, Chiranjeevi introduced fights in a systematic and stylish way and his dances and fights were a treat to the public. Chiranjeevi was not just a great actor but a pioneer in many ways who set benchmarks for many other actors.<br />
<br />
Chiranjeevi was a perfectionist and had no competition during his reign at the top. Once actor Nagarjuna remarked that Chiranjeevi was not only particular about perfection in the scenes which involved him but wanted perfection in scenes which involved others in the movie which is a rarity. According to Venkatesh who himelf is a leading actor he said that Chiranjeevi has been the undisputed number one since 1987 till his retirement and it is difficult to imagine that a actor can consistently deliver hits for over 25 years.</div>

When he started his political career he was already a very popular actor in the Telugu film industry. Rama Rao was unanimously elected leader of Telugu Dasam Legislature Party on January 8, 1983 with 10 cabinet ministers and five ministers of State. He became the 10th Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and was reelected three times between 1983 and 1994.<br />
<br />
To promote the Telugu Desam Party, Rama Rao travelled across the state of Andhra Pradesh, crisscrossing all the districts, in his van dubbed "Chaitanya Ratham" (Chaitanyam literally means bringing to life or movement). With his son Hari Krishna as a driver, Rama Rao notched up over 75,000 kilometres during his 1982 campaign, a distinctive sight with the van's yellow party flags and banners and Rao sitting on top of the vehicle hailing the crowds. Rama Rao campaigned for restoring the dignity of the Telugu people and advocated the forming a closer bond between the government and the common people, going into the elections with the slogan, Telugu vari Atma Gauravam, meaning "Telugu people's self-respect. He reflected socialist views in several of his policies in that he believed that state must take care of the people that are below poverty line and everyone must have their basic necessities fulfilled. He campaigned to secure basic necessities such as home, clothes and food for the people and to provide subsidies on clothes and houses to the needy. He was also an advocate of women's rights and worked on a bill to amend inheritance law to provide equal rights for women to inherit ancestral property, enacted later, in 1986.<br />
<br />
Rama Rao's extensive tour in the Chaitanya Ratham vehicle helped to successfully mobilize people and recruit potential leaders and members for his newly founded party. The Congress Party, then in power, panicked at the response and replaced the Chief Minister Bhavanam Venkataram with a more experienced and seasoned leader, Kotla Vijaya Bhaskara Reddy. Reddy, who was Chief Minister for just over 3 months, could not secure victory for the Congress Party in the ensuing elections in January 1983. The newly formed Telugu Desam Party won with significant margins in all three regions of the State (Coastal Andhra, Rayala Seema, and Telengana), winning over 200 seats in the 294 seat State Assembly against 56 seats by the Congress Party. Rama Rao himself contested elections from two constituencies, Tirupathi in Chittor District and Gudivada in Krishna district, and won both the seats.<br />
<br />
<br />
On Independence Day, 15 August 1984, NTR was removed from office by the then governor Ramlal. His finance minister, Nadendla Bhaskara Rao, a former Congress man, was made the Chief Minister by the Ramlal. Bhaskar Rao purportedly had the support of majority MLAs (Members of Legislative Assembly of Andhra Pradesh) which was never the case. Rama Rao disputed the claims by Bhaskara Rao and demonstrated his strength by bringing all the MLAs supporting him, which was a majority in the 294 member assembly, to the Raj Bhavan (Governor's Office). Governor Ramlal did not relent and Rama Rao campaigned for restoration of democracy by mobilizing the support of people and various political parties in the country including Janata Party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Communist Party of India (CPI), Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), and National Conference. During the one month crisis, the MLAs supporting Rama Rao were secured in a secret place to avoid horse-trading. Due to mobilization of several political parties and the people and due to bad press, Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister and head of Congress Party, unwillingly removed Governor Ramlal and appointed a congress party veteran, Shankar Dayal Sharma, as governor of Andhra Pradesh to pave the way for restoring Rama Rao. Shankar Dayal Sharma removed Bhaskara Rao from power and restored Rama Rao as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in September 1984. He recommended dissolution of the Assembly and called for new elections in the state to ensure the people had a fresh choice to elect their representatives.<br />
<br />
In the following month, on 31 October 1984, Indira Gandhi was assassinated. Rajiv Gandhi became Prime Minister in her place. In the ensuing national elections to the Lok Sabha, the Congress party won convincingly all over the country except in Andhra Pradesh where Rama Rao's Telugu Desam party secured a landslide victory. Senior Leaders of Congress party including Brahmananda Reddy, a former Chief Minister, and Vijaya Bhaskara Reddy, a former Chief Minister, lost in their constituencies of Narasarao Pet and Kurnool respectively to the Telugu Desam Party. Telugu Desam became the main opposition party in the Lok Sabha.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Second Term</span><br />
<br />
The Telugu Desam Party operations were significantly computerized and a systematic local party structure was built and this resulted in the establishment of a stable second political party that survived his death. Rao introduced the concept of strong states with a strong center in his discussions about state power with Gandhi and ushered in a new era of empowered local governments, within the framework of India.<br />
<br />
He suffered a mild stroke and was unable to campaign in the 1989 election, which he lost.<br />
<br />
He lost election from kalwakurthy, Mahaboob Nagar to a less unknown candidate Chittaranjan Das of the Congress(I).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Third Term</span><br />
<br />
N.T. Rama Rao returned to power in 1994 winning 250 seats (Telugu Desam won 216; CPI: 19; CPM: 15) for his party and his allies in a 294 seat Assembly. Congress party won only 26 seats. The BJP which contested 280 seats on its own won just three seats.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Personal life</span><br />
NTR married Basavatarakam in 1942. She died of cancer in 1985. There is a cancer Hospital established in her memory in Hyderabad. NTR remarried in 1993 at the age of 70. NTR had seven sons and four daughters from his first marriage. Prominent among his children are Bhuvaneswari, wife of Nara Chandrababu Naidu and the chairperson of Heritage Foods; and Daggubati Purandeswari, MP and a Minister of State for Human Resources in Manmohan Singh's cabinet; Nandamuri Balakrishna a leading actor in the Telugu film industry; and Nandamuri Harikrishna, an actor turned politician and a member of Rajya Sabha (upper house of India's Parliament). NTR later took a second wife, Lakshmi Parvathi who after being widowed and the succession of TDP by Nara Chandra Babu Naidu founded her own party called the NTR Telugu Desam Party (Lakshmi Parvathi) [14]. Prominent among NTR's grandchildren are Kalyan Ram, N. T. Rama Rao Jr. and Taraka Ratna; all three are actors in Telugu cinema.<br />
<br />
N T Rama Rao became very well known for acting while working as CM during his film career. He died on 18 January 1996 of a heart attack.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Controversies</span><br />
<br />
During 1993, there was immense criticism on him from his own party MLAs that he was giving undue importance to Lakshmi Parvathi. [15] This coupled with criticism of his affair with hear forced him to announce his marriage with Lakshmi Parvathi. After he came to power 1994, several party MLAs were upset with her interference in party matters. This lead to a revolt against him which was lead by his own son-in-law Nara Chandrababu Naidu and Duggupati venkateswara rao. It is also rumored that Nara Chandrababu Naidu has forced majority of the MLAs to take back their support towards N.T.R.<br />

Akkineni Nageswara Rao (Telugu: అక్కినేని నాగేశ్వరరావు) , (born 20 September 1924 at Ramapuram , Gudivada Taluk, Krishna District), also known as ANR, is a Telugu Cinema film actor from Gudivada, Andhra Pradesh.Nageswara Rao has worked in several genres of films - mythological, social, drama, etc - in his 69 year old acting career. Nageswara Rao has been with the telugu film industry since 1941 (ten years post the birth of Telugu Cinema) and is consiered one of the most veteran of telugu cinema actors.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Early Life and Background</span><br />
<br />
Akkineni Nageswara Rao was born in a poor farmer's family on the 20th of September 1924 at Ramapuram. He has stated on record in several interviews that his education was limited to primary schooling due to the poor economic conditions of his parents. Nageswara Rao took to acting at a very early age. He started acting in street plays at the age of 9 and acted in several plays.<br />
<br />
Indian plays in those days used to have all male casts and male leads often played female roles (as evidenced in the first Indian feature film Raja Harishchandra). Nageswara Rao in his early days as an actor used to enact such female roles on stage[12]. He acted more than 260 movies in his career.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Career</span><br />
<br />
Nageswara Rao's first telugu film was Dharmapatni, a 1941 telugu film , wherein he played the role of one of the hero's childhood friends. He later continued his career as a part time stage actor and acted in several renowned telugu plays such as Ashoka jyothy, Sathyanveshana and Telugu talli. On one such occasion, when he was travelling back from a play in Tenali, he was spotted on the Vijayawada railway station by Ghantasala Balaramaiah a telugu film maker of those days and was immediately offered a role in his upcoming movie Seeta Rama Jananam. He was later cast in this movie in the role of Lord Rama.<br />
<br />
In his career spanning 69 years in the telugu film industry, he has played the lead role in over 256 telugu films and 26 tamil films. Several of these films turned out to be financial and critical successes.<br />
<br />
Amongst other things, Nageswara Rao is credited for influencing telugu film producers and creating a base for telugu films in Hyderabad.<br />
<br />
Telugu film industry in its early days worked out of Madras (now, Chennai) in Tamilnadu. The new state of Andhra Pradesh was carved out from the Madras Presidency on 1 November 1956 and several leaders opined that in order to create a sepaarate identity for the telugu film industry, it had to be based out of Hyderabad - the then capital of Andhra Pradesh. ANR was one of the actors of that period who insisted on creating a base for telugu films in Hyderabad and established his own production studio, Annapurna Studios, to facilitate this.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Prominent Films</span><br />
<br />
ANR acted in several landmark telugu films. Some of his prominent films that have been financial and critical successes are Tenali Rama Krishna, Kalidasu, Devadasu, MayaBazaar, Missamma, Dr. Chakravarthi, Ardhangi, Muga Manasulu, Dasara Bullodu, Prem Nagar and Premabhishekam amongst others. The film premabhishekam deserves a special mention as it has been one of his biggest hits.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Awards and Honors</span><br />
<br />
He is the recipient of Dada Saheb Phalke Award, Padma Bhushan Award, Padma Sri Award, Kalimamani the Raghupati Venkayya Award,he won 7 Filmfare Awards Best Telugu Actor and the Kalidasu award granted by MP Government at national level.

<br />
Ghattamaneni Siva Rama Krishna (Telugu: ఘట్టమనేని శివరామ కృష్ణ) (born on the 31 May 1943), commonly referred to as Super Star Krishna, is one of Tollywood's most prolific actors. He is one of his kind of actor. A prolific risk taker, his derring-dos have played an instrumental role in enabling the Telugu film industry take a giant leap forward.<br />
<br />
Having acted in more than 350 movies, He is credited with introducing many firsts in Telugu film Industry like first Colour movie (Tene Manasulu(1965)), first Cinemascope movie ( Alluri Seetharama Raju ), first 70mm movie(Simhasanam), first DTS Movie(Telugu Veera Levara). He is very experimental and the first ever hero to introduce cowboy and James bond style to Telugu screen. In addition to acting he also directed 17 feature films and produced many films under his Padmalaya Film Studio banner. He was also elected as a Member of Parliament from Eluru under Congress Party. In 2009, the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Bhushan for his contributions towards Indian Cinema.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Early life</span><br />
<br />
Krishna was born on May 31, 1943 to Ghattamaneni Veeraraghavayya Chowdhary and Ghattamaneni Nagaratnamma in a remote village called Burripallem, near Tenali in Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, India. He was the eldest of the five children from a middle income agrarian family. He could not afford to have convent education, so he attended the school in his village to get his primary education before moving to Tenali and Narsapur to do his S.S.C and Intermediate. Impressed by his scholastic achievements, his father raised money to send his son to the prestigious C.R.R. college in Eluru to finish degree in BSc. There, he shared a room with two aspiring actors, Sobhan Babu and Murali Mohan, who later became stars in their own right. Krishna played an active role in various cultural events organized by his college. His performance in the play "Cheesina Paapam Kaasiki Velleena" brought him critical acclaim, thus encouraging him to pursue acting more seriously.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Film Career</span><br />
<br />
1962-1977<br />
<br />
After graduating in Science from C.R.Reddy College in Eluru. Offers did not come his way easily and he had to be content with playing insignificant roles in films like Padandi Mundhuku,Kulagothralu and Paruvu Prathishta. It was during these unsettling times that he bumped into an advertisement, which mentioned that Babu Movies was scouting profiles for their next film Tenemanasulu. Like several wannabe actors of his time, Krishna quickly responded to the advertisement and got selected to play one of the male leads amidst tight competition. Half way through the film Adurthi Subba Rao, the film director was subject to lot of pressure by its distributors (Navayuga) to drop Krishna from the film. But Adurthi persisted with his choice and released the film as planned. Its phenomenal success helped Krishna trespass the archetypal show-biz struggle as Adurthi repeated the cast for his next film Kannemanasulu. Krishna was also selected to play the lead role in Sunderlal Nehta and Doondee's Gudachaari 116 during this time. Though Kannemanasulu failed at the box-office, the unexpected success of this action flick established Krishna in the industry and he was often chosen to play the lead role in what came to be known as crime pictures in cinema patois. Krishna grabbed every opportunity that came his way and several hits followed in the next few years. Though action films were his forte, Krishna also delivered in soft films like Marapurani Katha, Atthagaaru Kotthakodalu, and Undamma Bottu Pedathaa. The upcoming actor also got a chance to work with more established actors like N.T.R. and A.N.R. in films like Sthree Janma, Niluvu Dopidi, Vichithra Kutumbam, Akka Chellellu and Manchi Kutumbam during this period. Success did not get into his head and Krishna consciously chose not to increase his remuneration even after becoming one of the minimum guaranteed stars in the industry. Most producers, who made films with Krishna, repeated him in their next projects regardless of how their earlier films fared. Some became so endeared with his consummate professionalism that they even tried pitting him against actors higher up in the echelon (Retired action hero Kantha Rao recently confessed this in his bio-graphy) . But Krishna had no time for these behind the scene endeavors as he was super busy acting in multiple shifts round the years.<br />
<br />
Krishna also set up his flag-ship production house Padmalaya films and produced several high budget films like Mosagallaki Mosagaadu, Pandanti Kapuram, Devudu Cheesina Manushulu and Alluri Seetharama Raju after a low profile maiden home production Agnipariksha. Huge casting was a standard feature in all these films and the production standards of these movies were far ahead of their times. With in a very short period, Padmalaya was recognized as a leading production house and its films were the biggest hits of the calendar years 1972, 1973 and 1974. Krishna also set up another production house VijayaKrishna movies with his soul-mate Vijaya Nirmala and produced some critically acclaimed films like Meena, Devadasu on it.<br />
<br />
In spite of producing such high profile movies, Krishna continued working for producers with moderate budgets. With these tight budgets, the film-makers sometimes could not provide the padding that is often required for a film's commercial success and hence some of Krishna's films released in 1971, 1972 and 1973 bit the dust. Though these failures reduced his success rate in early seventies, the years 1974 and 1975 can be considered as the real quiet period in his professional life. Except Cheekati Velugulu, none of his films released in these years made any impact at the box-office as people were reluctant to watch Krishna in softer roles after his riveting portrayal of Alluri Seethaa Rama Raju in the eponymous film. Krishna was also seriously taken aback with the box-office failure of his labor of love Devadasu, which was released in 1974. The year also saw Krishna straining his relationship with N.T.R. and A.N.R as they were against the idea of Krishna making Alluri Seetharama Raju and Devadasu respectively. Critics started questioning his box-office salability and most of them even predicted his career to end soon.<br />
<br />

<br />
Krishna showed great resolve during these testing times and with supreme self-belief, he released his lavishly made home production Paadi Pantalu for Sankranthi 1976. The film, which dealt with several agrarian issues of its time, was a run away hit at the box-office. Krishna was also equally appreciated for his performance in Raja Rajeswari Coffee Vilas Club, his second film in the famous Vijaya banner. Krishna also produced and released another movie called Rama Rajyamloo Raktha Paasam in 1976. This is another instance where Krishna showcased his ability to ably deal with exigencies when he changed the film's title and supplied new publicity material overnight to all regions when censor officials refused to certify the film unless they did so. The officials, apparently, opined that the original title Rama Rajyamloo Raktha Paatham; was too provocative and a dig on the prevailing socio-political unrest. Krishna did two roles in this average farer, which revolves around how two siblings unite their estranged parents. Kolleti Kapuram,Bhalee Dongalu and Devudee Gelichaadu are other films in which he acted in 1976. While K.B. Thilak's Kolleti Kapuram was critically acclaimed for its thought provoking dialogues and for capturing the serenity of Lake Kolleru in West Godavari District, Bhalee Dongalu, a re-make of the Hindi film Chor Machaayee Shoor, hit the bull's eye. But Devudee Gelichaadu left a sour pill in Krishna's mouth that year. Krishna became a top newsmaker again in the same year when he announced Kurukshethram as his next home production. This surprised N.T.R. the most as he also wanted to make a movie Daana Veera Sura Karna based on the epic. The relationship between the two strained further when Krishna expressed his inability to drop his project and both started producing their films at frenetic pace. While Daana Veera Soora Karna was made with a limited budget and featured N.T.R. in all the keyroles, Kurukshethram was made on a larger canvass with a huge casting ensemble. Though Daana Veera Sura Karna had an emphatic victory over its rival during Sankranthi season in 1977, Kurukshethram proved Krishna bravado once again. His good run at the box-office continued with Saavaasagallu and the actor further penetrated into the urban mass segment with the super-hit film Dongalaku Donga.<br />
<br />
Krishna's career reached greater heights between the years 1978 and 1986. During this period, Krishna acted in several hit movies, increased his fan-following manifold, maintained an edge over his junior rivals and made his seniors run for their money. More importantly, Krishna's stature also increased a lot due his philanthropy. In 1978, Krishna acted in hit films like Anna Dammula Sawaal, Kumara Raja and Agent Gopi and other commercially successful films like Indradanassu and Allari Bulloodu. The craze for him was so great that some of his flop films like Mugguroo Mugguree created records before petering out at the box-office. Six of his films fared very well in 1979. While Viyyalavaari Kayyaalu, Mandeegundelu, Hema-Heemeelu and Kottha Alludu set the cash registers ringing, Burripalem Bulloodu was another commercially successful film in Krishna's repertoire. Krishna and Sridevi became a hit-pair in 1980 and the two acted together in Gharana Donga, Maama Allulla Sawaal, Chuttaalunnaaru Jagrattha, and Ram Robert Rahim. Krishna also scored big against all his competitors when his Ooriki Monagaadu became the biggest hit among all films released during Sankranthi in 1981. This film is a watershed event in his life as it increased his craze and fan following in several remote areas too. Krishna was also the most consistent hero in 1981 as almost all his films performed well at the box-office. 1982 was another eventful year in his life and he started it with the super-hit film Bangaaru Bhoomi, which was an improvisation of his Paadipantalu. Towards the end of the year, Krishna became the fastest to complete 200 films in a lead role. He also became a studio owner and produced Eeenaadu as it's maiden venture. This film was another feather in his cap and the satirical film acted as a catalyst in bringing a regime change in AP. A string of super successful films like Mundhadugu, Kiraayi Kotigaadu, Adavi Simhaalu,Sakthi and Prajaarajyam catapulted him to the top position in 1983. Krishna's reign at the box-office continued in 1984 with films like Iddharu Dongalu, Bangaaru Kaapuram, Mukyamanthri and the lavishly made Kanchukaagada. This high profile movie opened splendidly and illustrated Krishna's box-office prowess by collecting Eighty Two Lakh Rupees in its first week. The Superstar ended the year on a high note with his last film for the year Dongalu Baabooy Dongalu, running for 100 days run in a single theater in Vijayawada.<br />
<br />
Krishna's career was at its pinnacle in 1985. The Superstar acted in swash buckling hits like Agniparvatham, Palnati Simham, Vajrayudham in this year. Krishna's fantastic portrayal of the larger than life characters created by the writer duo Paruchuri Brothers helped these films have spectacular runs at the box-office. In fact, his performances in these roles were so graceful and his histrionics so natural that fans across the state either started or re-named some of their associations/fan clubs on the characters names. He also acted in other hit films Suryachandra,Pacchani Kapuram and Mahasangramam with his peer Sobhan Babu. Krishna started 1986 on a low key as audience turned down both his early releases Krishnagaaradi and Brahmasthram. But he bounced bank with his maiden directorial venture Simhaasanam. Made with a budget of about four crore rupees in two languages and released on a grand-scale in more than 150 theaters in A.P. alone, Simhaasanam collected One and half crore rupees in its first week and completed its direct hundred days run in six major cities in the state.<br />
<br />
Khaidhi Rudrayya was another smash musical hit in his career and the film created several records at the box-office. The Superstar continued his slugfest against his political beliefs by satirizing some of the policies of Telugu Desam Party in his home production Naa Pilupee Prabhanjanam. Disgruntled supporters and leaders of this regional Party protested against screening of this film in several places. But their ruckuses, ironically, generated more publicity for it and helped the film succeed. Though Krishna starred in the record breaking Muddayi, and in other hits like Dongodocchaadu and Thandri Kodukula Challenge, 1987 was, by and large, a disappointing year in his career as some of his highly expected movies like Sardar Krishnama Naidu, Viswanatha Nayakudu, Maa Voori Magaadu and Makutamleeni Mahaaraaju fared dismally. Despite these professional setbacks, Krishna would still cherish the year because his elder son Ramesh Babu debuted as a full fledged actor with Saamraat on October 2nd. 1988 was another mediocre year in his professional life because only four Kaliyuga Karnudu, Aswaddhama, Rowdy No 1 and & Mugguru Kodukulu of his ten releases had some kind of impact at the box-office. The next year, however, was a very gratifying one for the Superstar because he not only acted in successful films like Koduku Diddina Kapuram, Saahasamee Naa Oopiri, Gudachaari 117 and Goondaarajyam (collected~ 74 Lakh rupees in its first week) but also for getting elected to the lower house of the Parliament from Eluru (W.G.) in the general elections held in 1989.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">1990-Present</span><br />
<br />
The years 1990-92 can be termed as the darkest period in his life because nothing went right for him both during this period. None of his films, barring Nagaasthram, fared well at the box-office and the actor took his longest break from work after Raktha Tharpanam, his last directorial venture in Telugu, tanked at the marquee. Ramesh's failure to capitalize on his blockbuster Bazaar Rowdy would have presumably upset him further during those unsettling times. Like other years ending with number 3 in the last two decades, 1993 also proved lucky to this Superstar and he came back strongly with the unexpected super success of Pacchani Samsaaram. But it was Vaaraasudu, his second release in the year, which made him the cynosure of the film fraternity again. The super-hit film, in which Krishna played a supporting role after a long time, however, incurred the wrath of his fans as it contained some scenes, which they thought, deprecated his image. Infact, the dissent was so great that the film-makers had to reach out to them through the print media requesting them to patronize the movie after chopping of those scenes and adding an action episode on him. But it was the film Number 1, which was another important turning point in his career as it helped him to cross-over to a new segment of audience. Released amidst tight competition during the festive season in January 1994, the film featured Krishna wearing flashy outfits and dancing with verve and energy. Audience, who were inundated with the lengthy dialogues in his movies, welcomed this image makeover and gave two-thumbs up for it. The film went on to become a phenomenal success and paradoxically, several producers requested him to appear in a song to help their film's cause. Amma Dongaa! (1995) was another thumping success in his career and the actor, instead of treading carefully to consolidate his re-gained stardom, went on a signing binge again while others were drastically reducing the number of films they acted to maximize revenues for each of their films. A string of flops followed Superstar Krishna and though Krishna became the fastest to reach the 300 films milestone (in a lead role), he was no longer a box-office phenomenon. This time, time was also not on his side to increase his personal stock as he was in his early fifties by then. The aged war-horse has since then been doing supporting roles in several insignificant films.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Personal life</span><br />
<br />
After he graduated from college, he married Indira Devi on November 1, 1962, with whom he has five children: two sons, Ramesh Babu (film producer) & actor Mahesh Babu; and three daughters; Padmavati, Manjula (film producer) and Priyadarshani. She provided him emotional support during his salad days. In 1965, she gave birth to their first child Ramesh Babu. In 1968, Krishna's daughter Padmavathi was born and in 1969, Krishna married his frequent leading lady Vijaya Nirmala.[1] and this created fodder for the gossip columns as they were still married to their respective spouses with children. Krishna continues to be married to his first wife Indira Devi and would have three more children with her: Manjula in 1970, Mahesh Babu in 1975, and Priyadarshini in 1979. He never had children with Vijayanirmala but he apparently raised her son Naresh from her first marriage as his own. He also supported Vijayanirmala's directorial aspirations by starring in the films she directed and was later proud when she made the Guiness Book of Records as the most prolific female director in 2002. Today he continues to act in small but significant roles in telugu films. His son Mahesh Babu has also become one of the top actors in the industry today. He has stated that Mahesh will not enter into any political business what-so-ever.<br />

<br />
Sobhan Babu (Telugu: శోభన్ బాబు) About this sound pronunciation (help·info) (January 14, 1937 – March 20, 2008), professionally and popularly known as Sobhan Babu, was a "Tollywood" film actor.<br />
<br />
Born as Uppu Sobhana Chalapathi Rao to a middle-class family, Sobhan went on to become a romantic icon and was one of the top Tollywood heros for two decades. He made his film debut with Daivabalam directed by Vasanthkumar Reddy, but his first film to hit the screens was Bhakta Sabari.<br />
<br />
Sobhan's Manushulu Marali ran for 25 weeks, a record-breaking achievement in those days. He received the Filmfare Award four times, the Nandi Award five times and the AP Cine Goers Award eight times.Writer cum film journalist Akella Raghavendra wrote a book on evergreen actor Sobhan Babu titled as Sobhan Babu Jeevita Charitra-Parugu Aapadam O Kala.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Background</span><br />
<br />
The son of Uppu Suryanarayana Rao, Babu had three sisters Dhanaranga, Jhansi and Nirmala, and a brother, Sambasiva Rao.<br />
<br />
Babu completed his initial schooling in Kuntamukkula Mylavaram. He pursued his Intermediate in Vijayawada and finished his degree at Andhra-Christian College in Guntur. Later, he studied law in Chennai, but ultimately discontinued it.<br />
<br />
He married Shanta Kumari on 15 May 1958; they had a son, Karuna Seshu and three daughters: Mrudula, Prashanti and Nivedita.<br />
<br />
Babu's first film was Bhakta Sabari. Chitrapu Narayana Murthy was his first director. His film Manushulu Maarali ran for 25 weeks which was a record at that time. His first colour film was Kannavari Kalalu.For the first time he went abroad for a film shooting for Ramudu-Parasuramudu. He made a dual role in Potti Pleader for the first time.<br />
<br />
He was honored with several Nandi Awards by the state of Andhra Pradesh. He was given the honorific, "Natabooshana", which became his last name in movie credits[citation needed]. his last grand son alapati siddharth was born two months following his death<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Career</span><br />
<br />
Sobhan Babu made his debut in the film Daivabalam. [1] After that he acted in many films playing small roles.<br />
<br />
Veerabhimanyu (1965) was his first movie as a "solo hero". This movie turned out to be a big hit. After this, however, he still played small roles in many films in order to earn money for his family. After the huge success of Manushulu Maarali, he acted in films until 1997.<br />
<br />
The highlight of Shoban Babu's career was the three consecutive Filmfare awards he won between 1974-1976 (1974 - Khaidi Babayi, 1975 - Jeevana Jyothi, and 1976 - Soggadu). This was a record for the Telugu film industry. Babu was only the second actor (after Dilip Kumar) to receive three consecutive Filmfare trophies.[citation needed]<br />
<br />
His rise in the acting industry was also a boon to producers with Babu's successive hits including Veerabhimanyu, Manushulu Marali, Kalyana Mandapam, and Tahsildhargaari Ammaayi, which earned Babu a large fan base.<br />
<br />
Sobhanbabu had paired up with Sharada for several films and they were a hit pair. It was a unique combination. Sobhan Babu known for his glamour and Sarada for her outstanding, performance-oriented roles.<br />
<br />
Sobhan Babu is known for his glamor. A single strand of hair (may be a couple) curled down on his forehead is his trademark style. Its so popular that every Telugu movie goer would instantly recognize it as his style.<br />
<br />
Though several senior artists had lost their earnings either by producing films or in some other way, Sobhanbabu had a planned career. He invested all his earnings in real estate. After his retirement he lead a peaceful life with a complete happy family with sons, daughters, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law and grandchildren like a real life hero.<br />
<br />
Sobhan Babu has passed away on March 20, 2008 due to heart attack.<br />

Murali Mohan or Muralimohan is a South Indian film actor, producer and politician. He has also been active in politics for the Telugu Desam Party.<br />
<br />
Murali Mohan born on June 24, 1940 in Chataparru village, Andhra Pradesh, India. His father Madhava Rao Garu was a freedom fighter. After he finished schooling in his village, he went to Eluru for higher education but failed. He shifted gears in 1963 and started his own business dealing in electrical motors and oil engines. Also, as a hobby, he acted in stage dramas in Vijayawada. In 1973, Murali Mohan debuted in films as a leading man for a famous producer, Poornachandra Rao Atluri, who was looking for a fresh face. Even though, the film "Jagame Maya" (1973) received a positive response, Murali Mohan continued to struggle for another break, until a famous director Narayana Rao Dasari cast him in the film "Tirupati" (1974). Dasari was impressed with his performance and cast him in 40 more films. In 1975, Murali Mohan wrapped up his business and shifted to Madras to concentrate fully in films. He acted in 350 movies. He said that the period between 1975 and 1985 was his best phase in his film career. He is the first person to act in Television serials from the Telugu film industry. In 1990, he retired as a leading man and opted to act in the character roles. After taking a break from active Cinema, he served in various positions in National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and the regional Film Development Corporation (FDC) in Andhra Pradesh. In addition, he is the Honorary President of the Telugu Movie Artists Association. He has also been an active member of the Telugu Desam Party.<br />
<br />
In 1980 he formed his own production company with his brother Kishore titled Jayabheri Productions, and his first movie as producer was "Varala Abbay" directed by the noted filmmaker K. Balachander. It also turned to be Murali Mohan's 100th film. Till now Jayabheri has produced about 25 films.<br />
<br />
Murali Mohan has ventured into the real estate business. He further said that he would use a portion of his earnings to help poor students and encourage them toward a better life. Since its inception "Murali Mohan Charitable Trust" has adopted nearly 400 students of Engineering & Medicine. Eligible students have been funded irrespective of caste and creed.<br />
<br />
Murali Mohan is married to Jalandhara, with whom he has a son Ram Mohan, and a daughter Madhu Bindu.<br />
<br />

He owns the film production company "Jayabheri Arts" and has produced many successful movies along with his brother Kishore.He has started the successful Jayabheri group, building flats in the high-tech city of Hyderabad. His original name is Raja Babu.<br />

In 2000 after moderately successful Sitaramaraju film, Nagarjuna starred in Nuvvu Vastavani. His subsequent films that year, Ninne Premistha and Azad (film) also met with commercial success. He starred in the romantic comedies, Santhosham and Manmadhudu, both of which were successful at the box office. Shivamani capped off a golden run of six successful films in Nagarjuna's acting career. During that time, he produced Satyam, launching the acting career of his nephew, Sumanth.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">2004-present</span><br />
<br />
In 2004, Nagarjuna had two releases, Nennunnanu and Mass. The former, despite being slammed by critics, was a box office winner. Mass, produced by Nagarjuna and directed by a debutant, the prominent dance choreographer Raghava Lawrence, became one of the highest grossing films in his career.[1] In 2005, Nagarjuna acted in and produced Super, which was an average hit. Then in 2006, Nagarjuna reunited with Annamayya director, K.Raghavendra Rao, and starred in the film Sri Ramadasu, his second period film based on the great eighteenth century Telugu saint-composer of the same name.[2] Nagarjuna received the Nandi Award for best actor that year. Sri Ramadasu, much like his earlier Annamayya, gave Nagarjuna critical as well as commercial success. His 2007 film, "Don" was a disaster. "King" was a success in 2009. He is currently[when?] working for Gaganam co-starring with Prakash Raj as a Top Cop. He is also working with Veeru Potla on Ragada.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Work in Bollywood and Tamil films</span><br />

Venkatesh Daggubati (Telugu: వెంకటేష్ దగ్గుబాటి) is an Indian film actor who stars in Tollywood films. He is the son of veteran Tollywood film producer, former MP, Dr. D. Ramanaidu. He is sometimes fondly called Victory Venkatesh in Tollywood. He is one of the most successful Tollywood actors.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Early life</span><br />
<br />
Venkatesh was born to Dr. D. Ramanaidu and Rajeshwari in Karamchedu, a village in Prakasam District, A.P. He has an elder brother, D. Suresh Babu, who runs one of the most prestigious banners in Telugu cinema, Suresh Productions, and a younger sister, Lakshmi. Venkatesh did his schooling in Don Bosco, Egmore, Chennai. He graduated with a B.Com from Loyola College in Chennai and got his MBA from the Monterey Institute of International Studies, USA.[1] After his return to India, he wanted to get into production but instead, became an actor in Telugu films.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Personal life</span><br />
<br />
Venky is married to Neeraja and they have four children: a son named Arjun Ramnath and three daughters, Aashritha, Havyavahini and Bhavana. His nephew, Rana Daggubati, son of popular producer D. Suresh Babu, is also a movie star. Venky is a die-hard fan of cricket; he supports his home team Deccan Chargers (Hyderabad) in the Indian Premier League.[2]<br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Career</span><br />
<br />
Venkatesh debuted in Kaliyuga Pandavulu in the year 1986. The movie was not only a hit but also got him his first Nandi award, which is a rare accomplishment for an actor who has just completed his debut film. At an early phase in his career, Venkatesh acted in Swarnakamalam, directed by K Viswanath, which got him his second Nandi award. Bobbili Raja, with the delightful Divya Bharti, was a big comedy and a musical hit. Venkatesh worked with Bollywood director Ram Gopal Varma on the film Kshana Kshanam. In 1991, Chanti, a family drama, was a box office hit that got him a huge fan following among women in both Telugu and Hindi films.<br />
<br />
His recent films, Adavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule and Tulasi were big hits. Last year he teamed up with his friend Kamal Haasan and acted in a movie called Eenadu, which got released in September 2009. His latest movie is Namo Venkatesa, directed by Sreenu Vytla; it was released as a pongal special and celebrated its grand 100 days function on 26 April, being 2010’s first 100-day film.[3] Recently, he has given a nod to act in a film to be directed by P. Vasu, which is to be a remake of Aptharakshaka, a Kannada film, a sequel to the 2005 blockbuster film Chandramukhi; regular shooting started on May 12, 2010.[4]<br />
<br />
He has won 7 Nandi awards, 4 Filmfare Awards, and many other awards as best actor for playing a variety of challenging roles in his career spanning 64 feature films in 24 years. His brother D. Suresh Babu, a very successful producer, has produced most of his hit films.<br />
<br />
Venkatesh enjoys a whooping success rate in tollywood as 70% of his films have been hits which no other hero can boast of.<br />

Gummadi Venkateswara Rao popularly known as Gummadi (9 July 1925 – 26 January 2010) was a popular Telugu film character actor. Though he began to act in films much later than famous artistes like N.T.Rama Rao and Akkineni Nageswara Rao he had through the course of his career acquired a niche for himself vis a vis the character roles of brother, father etc. which he often undertook.<br />
<br />
Early life:<br />
<br />
He was born in Ravikampadu in Tenali, Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh, India. According to one of his interviews, he studied in Hindu College (Guntur).<br />
<br />
Career:
Gummadi's acting career extended from 1950 onwards for almost six decades and he worked with three generations of people in the film industry. Though young, he used to play the dignified roles of relatively elderly people at the beginning. He was a versatile character actor in sociopolitical and mythological movies. He acted in nearly 500 movies. He played the role of father to many lead actors in old Telugu films.<br />
<br />
<br />
Born at Ravikampadu of Guntur district on 9 July 1927, Gummadi Venkateswara Rao, or more popularly Gummadi, first appeared as an actor in 1942, wherein he played the role of an old man on the stage. He began his career in cinemas with Adrushtadeepudu (1950) and continued on for about 500 more films portraying roles ranging from the hero, the villain, and the character artiste, to roles with a slight comedic bent, such as his guest appearance in Missamma (1955). Gummadi's excellent portrayal of middle-aged roles, playing even father to artistes who are older than he, such as NTR and ANR, made his name synonymous with that of a typical middle-aged man.<br />
<br />
His roles in Thodu Dongalu (1954) and Mahamantri Timmarusu (1962) alongside of NTR brought him appreciable critical acclaim, with the former film winning the President's Award and the latter conferring him the National Award for Best Supporting Actor. His roles in several films were appreciated a lot, but roles in Maya Bazar (1957), Maa Inti Mahalakshmi (1959), Kula Daivam (1960), Kula Gothralu (1962), Jyothy (1977), Nelavanka (1981), Maro Malupu (1982), Ekalavya (1982), Ee Charitra Ye Siraatho? (1982), Gaaju Bommalu (1983), Pelli Pusthakam (1991) stand out from the rest and some of them even won him awards. Gummadi won several awards as Best Supporting Actor in his career, the President's Silver Medal and Telugu University's honorary doctorate (in 1963) for essaying the title role in Mahamantri Timmarusu and the Best Actor Award for his role in Maro Malupu.<br />
<br />
Sree Gummadi Venkateswara Rao served as jury member thrice on the National Film Awards, twice on the Nandi Awards Committee (and twice more as Chairperson of the Committee), and was on the Selection Committee for NTR Award and Raghupati Venkayya Award. He wrote his memoirs in filmdom and brought them out as an autobiographical titled " teepi gurtulu-chEdu j~naapakaalu". When his role needed to be dubbed for Aayanakiddaru (1995) due to his ill health, the veteran artiste who was very popular for his voice decided to quit acting but he acted again in the title role of Jagadguru Sree Kasi Nayana Charitra (2008) as the role would match his real age and voice.<br />
<br />
<br />
Personal life :<br />
Gummadi was married and had five daughters and two sons. He died of multiple organ failure at Care hospital, Hyderabad on 26 January 2010. His last public appearance was at the screening of Maya Bazar which had since been colorized. Here he expressed his happiness and said that "Watching this great movie in colour probably could have been the only reason for me to have stayed alive for so long."<br />

<br />
A day after Chiranjeevi’s ‘official’ retirement from acting, his son Ram Charan expressed his disappointment with his dad’s decision. He said he hoped to do a song like “Kajra Re..” with Chiranjeevi in Telugu. Amitabh and his son Abhishek Bachchan had danced to the superhit song - “Kajra Re..” in the film Bunty Aur Babli. Though Chiru and Ram Charan shared screen space in the all-time-biggest grosser Magadheera, fans they didn’t do a song together or a full length film like Amitabh and Abhishek did.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ram Charan tweeted: “I dreamt of doing a song like Kajra Re with Dad. I really envy Abhishek Bachchan to have done so many movies with his dad.”<br />
<br />
Chiru's statement on Tuesday (June 28) that he completely bid good-bye to films and acting made his fans feel sad. They hoped that he'd complete his dream of completing 150 movies, just short of a film. <br />

Pawan Kalyan's 'Gabbar Singh' is creating history at the box office.
The film is the biggest blockbuster in the history of Telugu cinema.
Now, the film has achieved another feat by completing 100 days at the
ticket window.<br />
<br />
Directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Bandla Ganesh, 'Gabbar
Singh' grossed approximately Rs 18 crore on the first day. As per trade
analysts, the film earned approximately Rs 128.75 crore in just three
weeks.<br />

<br />
A review published on day one, said, "For this film, everything
seems to have fallen in place. From the dialogues to the cinematography,
music and the dances, everything helps the hero deliver a dekko acting
output that promises to create Box Office history."<br />
<br />
Without doubt, Pawan's heroism, Harish Shankar's directorial touch and
dialogues, DSP's music and BG score, Jayanth's cinematography have made
this a refreshing experience.

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Ravi (Allu Arjun) is
an intelligent youngster who doesn’t believe in the concept of working
hard for long term profits. He wants quick bucks because he is
extremely brainy and takes any risk to achieve it. Bittu (Sonu Sood) is a
gangster who robs 1500 crores from a bank. The paths of Ravi and Bittu
intersect during a night. The rest of the story is all about the duel
between these two guys and how Ravi realises the importance of working
hard and long-term growth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Allu Arjun:</b>
By looking at the title, one may expect comedy from Allu Arjun in this
film. But Trivikram has unvieled the angle of 'action hero' in Allu
Arjun with Julayi. Allu Arjun is extremely good in action sequences and
is terrific in comedy situations. He matched the might of Brahmanandam
in comedy scenes. The characterization is done in such a way that it
suits the body language of Allu Arjun. He has amazing ability to make
the most difficult movements look so easy. Hence once you watch Allu
Arjun’s dance, you notice the ease and grace, but not the effort.
(people would say <i>entha baga dance chesadu</i>, nobody will say <i>entha kastapadi chesadu</i>).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The basic story is
the mind game between two men. Each of them can read the mind of the
other person. Trivikram has added a nice family backdrop, a heroine and
good humor to the character of hero. There is one dialogue in the film
where the father asks the hero - ‘n<i>eeku bittu ki (villain) theda enti?</i>’.
That summarizes the characterizations of hero and villain. There are
gray shades to hero character. The initial scenes of the film are
inspired by Dark Knight movie and you can see shades of Italian Job in
the climax scene of transferring container containing money. It is a
typical Hollywood action film kind of plot with a bit of Telugu
commercial elements (family backdrop and entertaining humor) thrown in.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Rajinikanth</span> (Tamil: ரஜினிகாந்த்) (Kannada: ರಜನಿಕಾಂತ್), born Shivaji Rao Gaikwad, is an Indian film actor and celebrity. He made his debut as an actor in Apoorva Raagangal (1975), a Tamil film directed by K. Balachander, whom the actor considers his mentor. He then worked in Tamil cinema often portraying antagonistic characters and gradually rose to acting in lead roles. Other than acting, Rajinikanth also worked as a producer, screenwriter, and playback singer. Apart from his film career, he is also a philanthropist, spiritualist and serves as an influence in the politics of Tamil Nadu.<br />
<br />
Rajinikanth is a recipient of the Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian honour, for his contribution to Indian cinema. Post-1978, he became known as the "superstar" of Tamil cinema and has held a matinee idol status in the popular culture of India.[1] His mannerisms and stylized delivery of dialogue in films attributes to his mass popularity and appeal.[1] He was named one of the most influential persons in South Asia by Asiaweek.[1][2] While acting in many Indian languages, he has also appeared in the cinemas of other nations, including in that of the United States. After being paid Indian rupee26 crores (US$5.9 million) for his role in Sivaji (2007), he became the highest paid actor in Asia after Jackie Chan.[3][4]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Early life</span><br />
<br />
Rajinikanth was born Shivaji Rao Gaikwad in a Maharashtrian family,[5] to mother Jijabai and father Ramoji Rao Gaikwad, on December 12, 1949 in Bangalore, Karnataka, India.[6] He was the youngest of four children and has two older brothers and a sister. After the death of his mother at the age of 5,[7] he struggled with an impoverished lifestyle during his childhood. During that time, he often did odd jobs as a coolie in his community.[8] He attended the Acharya Patasala for elementary education and had his higher education at the Ramakrishna Mission in Bangalore.<br />
<br />
Between 1968 and 1973 he worked in many places in Chennai, thus moving continuously from Bangalore to Chennai. He performed various jobs before joining the then Bangalore Transport Service (BTS) as a bus conductor. In 1973, his friend and co-worker Raj Bahadur motivated him to join the Madras Film Institute and also financially supported him for 2 years during his studies.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Career</span><br />
<br />
As of 2010, Rajinikanth has acted in over 150 films, including Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, English, and Bengali films.[11] After the release of his first Bollywood film, Andha Kanoon, Rajinikanth did not make as much of an impact in the Mumbai-based industry as he did in the south. He still appeared in several Hindi films, such as Chaalbaaz, Uttar Dakshin, Giraftaar and Hum. He appeared in a supporting role in the American film Bloodstone, co-produced by Ashok Amritraj in 1988, with much fanfare in India at the time of its release.[12] He also made brief stints in the German and Japanese film industries. His film Muthu was dubbed into Japanese and became a major hit in Japan.[13] In 2005, his film Chandramukhi was dubbed in German and released in all German-speaking nations.[14] Despite his first language being Marathi, Rajinikanth has not yet acted in any Marathi films.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Survival: Till 1977</span><br />
<br />
Rajinikanth debuted in Tamil cinema as a cancer patient in Apoorva Raagangal in 1975. The following year he acted in his first Kannada film, Katha Sangama which was directed by Puttanna Kanagal. He entered Telugu cinema through Anthuleni Katha, which was directed by K. Balachander, whom Rajinikanth has called his "guru" or mentor. Though Rajinikanth refers to director K. Balachander as his mentor, it was director S. P. Muthuraman who revamped Rajinikanth’s image entirely. Muthuraman first experimented with him in a positive role in Bhuvana Oru Kelvikkuri (1977), as a failed lover in the first half of the film and a protagonist in the second. Muthuraman has since directed Rajinikanth in 25 films. His film roles were sketchy either as a villain or as a supporting actor during the late 1970s, co-starring frequently with Kamal Haasan as the protagonist, in movies like 16 Vayadhinilae, Moondru Mudichu and Avargal, et al.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Slow but steady growth: 1978-1990</span><br />
<br />
In 1978, Rajinikanth acted in the film Bairavi. This was the first Tamil film to cast him as a solo hero. Later Mullum Malarum won him critical acclaim. The success of Bhuvana Oru Kelvikkuri prompted Muthuraman to make a mushy melodrama with Rajinikanth as a hero sacrificing everything for his siblings in Aarilirunthu Arubathu Varai (1979). These films were the turning points in Rajinikanth’s career; he changed from an actor who merely enthralled the audiences to one who could also evoke emotions. The acceptance of Rajinikanth sans his stylized mannerisms proved he had at last become a "star" from a "common actor."<br />
<br />
During this phase of his career, when he was reaching dazzling heights, Rajinikanth abruptly chose to quit acting, but was coaxed back.[15] He continued acting with the blockbuster Tamil film Billa, which was a remake of the blockbuster Bollywood movie Don. Billa was followed by a row of hits, namely Murattu Kaalai, Pokkiri Raja, Thanikattu Raja, Naan Mahaan Alla and Moondru Mugam. K. Balachander’s first home production, Netrikan proved to be yet another milestone in Rajni’s career. He acted in his first cameo role alongside Meena Durairaj, who was a child actor then, in the movie Anbulla Rajinikanth (1984).<br />
<br />
Though the decade was dominated by Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth still managed to outwit rivals like Mohan, Karthik, Prabu and Ramarajan with a steady stream of low-budget box-office hits throughout the 80s: Padikkathavan, Thee, Velaikaran, Dharmathin Thalaivan and Mr. Bharath.[16][17] In his 100th movie, Sri Raghavendra, he played the Hindu saint Raghavendra Swami.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Domination: 1991 - Present</span><br />
<br />
The majority of his movies released during the nineties were extremely successful, notably Thalapathy, Mannan, Annamalai, Veera, Badsha, Muthu,[18] and Padayappa. Rajinikanth wrote his first screenplay and made a special appearance in the film Valli (1993), which failed to make an impact at the box office. His film Badsha emerged as an industrial record. His film Muthu was the first Tamil film to be dubbed into Japanese (as Mutu: Odoru Maharaja[19]) and grossed a record $1.6 million in Japan in 1998.[20] In fact, its success in Japan led the American news magazine Newsweek to comment in a 1999 article that Rajinikanth had "supplanted Leonardo DiCaprio as Japan's trendiest heartthrob".<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Sabbatical</span><br />
<br />
The new millennium began very well for Rajinikanth; Padayappa had reset the record of Badsha firmly entrenching his position in Tamil film history. Finally, after more than a three year sabbatical from cinema, at 52 years of age, he starred in his home production, Baba, which released on August 15, 2002 amid much fanfare and hype. The film did poorly at the box office due to a very weak screenplay, which Rajinikanth himself had written, in his second stint at screenplay-writing after Valli. The thin screenplay revolved around the story about a gangster who later engages in spirituality; it was a colossal disappointment and was viewed as a tremendous loss when compared to his previous box office successes throughout his career. It fell short of market expectations and the high bids reportedly translated to heavy losses for the distributors. Rajinikanth himself repaid the losses incurred by the distributors.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Return to success: 2005-Present</span><br />
<br />
After the Baba debacle, Rajinikanth mulled over numerous scripts with many directors, including K. S. Ravikumar, and finally chose to act in director P. Vasu's film Chandramukhi. Many people within the industry had written Rajinikanth off after the Baba fiasco, essentially saying "the bloom was off the rose" and that "the gold does not glitter anymore".[24] In essence, many viewed Chandramukhi as Rajinikanth's comeback film, his make or break movie and in the end, when it was released on April 14, 2005, it went on to create new box office records and smashed his own previous records and once and for all removed any doubt within the industry with regards to Rajinikanth's box office clout and incomparable appeal to the masses. Chandramukhi broke the record of being the longest running Tamil film, as of 2007.[25]<br />
<br />
Just after Chandramukhi's release, it was reported that AVM Productions were to produce a film directed by S. Shankar starring Rajinikanth, the largest collaboration yet for a Tamil film. The film was titled Sivaji and released on June 15, 2007 after two years of filming and meticulous production. With massive international anticipation, it subsequently went on to become a major blockbuster, being ranked among other major Bollywood and Hollywood releases of the year. Sivaji became the first Tamil movie to be charted as one of the top-ten best films of United Kingdom and South Africa box-offices upon release.[26][27] Rajinikanth received a salary of Indian rupee26 crores, approximately US$5.3 million at the time, for his role the film, which made him become the second highest paid actor in all of Asia.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Kuselan controversy</span><br />
<br />
Following Sivaji, Rajinikanth worked with P. Vasu again for Kuselan, a remake of the Malayalam film Kadha Parayumbol, in which Rajinikanth played an extended cameo role as himself, a star in the Indian film industry, and as a best friend to the main character. According to Rajinikanth, the film somewhat narrates his early life. The film performed poorly at box offices; many distributors incurred major losses due to the film, which Rajinikanth voluntarily settled with his own budget after pressure from different sections of the film world.[28][29]<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Recent work</span><br />
<br />
During the course of the production for Sivaji, Ocher Studios, the animation company of Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth, in association with Adlabs announced their intention of producing a CGI animation film starring an animated version of Rajinikanth. In 2010, Rajinikanth appeared in Enthiran, a science fiction film directed by S. Shankar. Enthiran is reported to be the costliest Indian film ever made, with a budget of Indian rupee 162 crores (US $36 million).[30] The film released on October 1, 2010, and is said to have grossed Indian rupee250 crore worldwide[31][32]. Rajinikanth will soon be lending his voice to the lead character in the animation film Sultan the Warrior, which is being directed by his daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth.<br />
<br />
A. R. Murugadoss had previously shown interest in directing Rajinikanth in his next feature film after Ghajini.[33] Rajinikanth has stated that he is interested in starring in Pyramid Saimira's next production, in order to compensate for Kuselan.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Popularity</span><br />
<br />
Rajinikanth is consistently touted as the most popular South Indian film actor of his time.[35] Rajinikanth's popularity mostly originates from his uniquely styled dialogues and mannerisms in films, as well as his political statements and philanthropy. It is also suggested by the media that some popular actors who worked with Rajinikanth earlier in their careers, such as Gouthami Tadimalla and Nayanthara, were recognized because of their association with Rajinikanth, giving other aspiring actors the urge to work with him.[36] Some fellow actors, such as Cho Ramaswamy, have commentated that Rajinikanth has the potential to be successful in Indian politics due to his popularity and fan base alone.[37]<br />
<br />
After the release of Muthu (1995), Rajinikanth became the only other Indian actor, after Shah Rukh Khan, to earn a Japanese fan base, opening a new market for Tamil films in the nation. Other films of Rajinikanth also released in Japan and garnered immense success, notably Chandramukhi (2005), and Sivaji (2007).[38] During a visit to Japan in 2006, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh acknowledged the success of Muthu in the country during a speech, justifying the positive relationship between the two nations.[39][40] Chandramukhi is notable for being the longest-running Tamil film in India, playing for a total of over 800 days. Sivaji was instrumental in making one of the largest releases for an Indian film in the world; the film entered the list of top ten films of the United Kingdom upon release. Chandramukhi and Sivaji were also released in South Africa, where they eventually became high box-office grossers.[41] A clip from his 1990 Tamil film Adhisaya Piravi became a hugely popular viral video Little Superstar, an internet phenomenon in 2006.<br />
<br />
A survey conducted in 2008 by Loyola College in Chennai suggested that Rajinikanth's popularity was decreasing in Tamil Nadu. The survey saw late actors M. G. Ramachandran and Sivaji Ganesan, as well as Joseph Vijay, topping the list with Rajinikanth closely following them, though he was still ahead of other actor-turned-politicians, such as Vijayakanth. However, the low result was attributed to Kuselan, which released at the time of the survey with an unsuccessful outcome at box offices.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Awards and honours</span><br />
<br />
Rajinikanth received his first Filmfare Award for Best Tamil Actor in 1984 for Nallavanuku Nallavan. He later received Filmfare Award nominations for his performances in Muthu (1995) and Sivaji (2007).[43] Rajinikanth also received Tamil Nadu State Film Awards in the Best Actor category for his roles in Moondru Mugam (1982), Muthu (1995), Padayappa (1999), Chandramukhi (2005), and Sivaji (2007). He also received awards from Cinema Express and Filmfans Association for his on-screen performances and off-screen contributions in writing and producing.[44]<br />
<br />
Rajinikanth received the Kalaimamani award in 1985 and the M. G. R. Award in 1989, both from the Government of Tamil Nadu. In 1995, the South Indian Film Artistes' Association presented him with the Kalaichelvam Award. He was named and honoured with the Padma Bhushan award, India's third highest civilian honour, in 2000 from the Government of India.[45] He was selected as the Indian Entertainer of the Year for 2007 by NDTV, competing against the likes of Shahrukh Khan.[46] The Government of Maharashtra honoured him with the Raj Kapoor Award the same year. He received the Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan Award for Excellence in Indian Cinema at the 2010 ceremony of the Vijay Awards.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Personal life</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Family</span><br />
<br />
He married Latha Rangachari, an Iyengar,[48] whom he met during an exclusive interview, [49] on February 26, 1981, at the age of 31 in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. They have two daughters named Aishwarya Rajinikanth and Soundarya Rajinikanth. His wife, Latha Rajinikanth, currently runs a school named The Ashram. His elder daughter, Aishwarya Rajinikanth, married actor Dhanush on November 18, 2004 and they have two sons named Yathra and Linga.[50] His younger daughter, Soundarya Rajinikanth, works in the film industry as a director, producer and graphic designer. She married industrialist Ashwin Ramkumar on September 3, 2010.[51]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Religion</span><br />
<br />
Rajinikanth is a follower of Hinduism, spiritualism, and a strong believer of spirituality.[52] As a reader, he also enjoys books on such topics.[53] He is also a practitoner of yoga and meditation.[7] Rajinikanth is known for visiting temples prior to the release of each of his films; for instance he visited the Tirumala Venkateswara Temple before the release of Sivaji in 2007 and visited Sathya Sai Baba at Prasanthi Nilayam in Andhra Pradesh before the release of Kuselan the following year.[54][55] He also occasionally leaves for pilgrimage to the Himalayas.[7] He has often referred to Swami Satchidananda, Ragavendra Swami, Mahavatar Babaji, and Ramana Maharishi as his favourite spiritual leaders.[56]<br />
<br />
Some of the films Rajinikanth has appeared in lightly allude to his spiritual and religious activities in real life. His films Sri Raghavendra (1985) and Baba (2002) are based on Raghavendra Swami and Mahavatar Babaji, respectively. He also promotes spiritualism in his speeches during film related events.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Politics</span><br />
<br />
Several local fan associations of Rajinikanth in Tamil Nadu have continuously wanted him to take active participation in politics. In this regard, a few fans in Coimbatore started their own political party in 2008 for Rajinikanth, in an attempt to pressure his entry in politics. The party was named the Desiya Dravadar Makkal Munnetra Kazhagam (DDMMK), introducing its own flag and symbol for the party.[58] After learning about this, Rajinikanth wrote an open letter to the media and declared that he had no connection with these events and warned fans not to indulge in such activities and that he would take legal action if they failed to adhere. He also mentioned that he was not interested in politics and thus, was only committed to working in films. He added that nobody can force him to enter politics, just as no one can stop him from entering it.[59]<br />
<br />
Rajinikanth joined in support of Tamil actor Ajith Kumar, who spoke against the forceful inclusion of Tamil cinema personae in political affairs.[60] He attended an event organised in support of the Sri Lankan Tamil cause with the Tamil film fraternity in late 2008, taking part in a one-day fast demanding the government of Sri Lanka to stop the war, the murder of innocent civilians and to give Tamils their rights and their traditional land, stating this was in the best interests for the people of the island.[61]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Alliances</span><br />
<br />
In 1995, Rajinikanth announced that he is willing to support the Indian National Congress after meeting Prime Minister Narasimha Rao.[62] An opinion poll conducted by the magazine Kumudam predicted that Congress with Rajinikanth's support might win up to 130 seats in Tamil Nadu Assembly. In 1996, when the Congress Party decided to align with All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK), Rajinikanth supported Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK)-Tamil Maanila Congress (TMC) alliance. The TMC used a bicycle as their election symbol and used an image of Rajinikanth riding a bicycle from the film Annamalai in their posters. Rajinikanth said, "Even God cannot save Tamil Nadu if AIADMK returns to power." Rajinikanth wholeheartedly supported the DMK and TMC alliance and asked the people of Tamil Nadu and his fans to vote for that alliance. This alliance had a complete victory in 1996.[62]<br />
<br />
In 1996, Rajinikanth supported the DMK-TMC alliance in parliamentary elections.[63]<br />
Social work<br />
<br />
In 2002, Rajinikanth undertook a daylong fast to protest the Government of Karnataka's decision to not release Kaveri River water into Tamil Nadu[64] and announced that he would contribute Indian rupee 10,000,000 toward a plan to interlink the Indian rivers. He met with Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and many experts to canvass support for the project.[65] However, most other members of the Tamil film industry, including members of the South Indian Film Artistes' Association (SIFAA), organized their own solidarity protest. Film director Bharathi Raja stated that Rajinikanth was on the verge of dividing the film industry and called him "traitor who had a tacit understanding with the Karnataka government".[66]<br />
<br />
During the 2008 hunger strike organized by SIFAA during the Hogenakkal water dispute, he reprimanded Karnataka politicians. Further, he appealed to leaders not to inflame the water project issue for political gains and requested that the issue should be resolved soon. He urged the Karnataka politicians "to speak the truth." "People are equal to God. They cannot be fooled and will not remain silent if you continue to act in such manner," he stated.[67] Leader of the Pro-Kannada group Karnataka Rakshana Vedike Vatal Nagaraj demanded an apology from Rajinikanth and threatened that he would not be allowed in the state of Karnataka and all his films would be boycotted for Rajinikanth's speech against Kannada politicians.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Controversies</span><br />
<br />
In 2002, during Rajinikanth's own hunger strike for agitating the state of Karnataka to release Kaveri River water into Tamil Nadu, another hunger strike was organized by the Tamil film directors' association. Rajinikanth had yet continued with his own strike, leading to several criticism of Rajinikanth. Director Bharathi Raja, who also condemned other actors and politicians of Tamil Nadu, had stated that Rajinikanth was on the verge of dividing the film industry.[66]<br />
<br />
Also in 2002, Pattali Makkal Katchi leader S. Ramadoss condemned him for smoking and posing with beedis in his film Baba. He was criticised for spoiling Tamil youth by glorifying smoking and drinking. PMK volunteers attacked theatres which screened the movie Baba and usurped film rolls and burnt it.[69] Famous film producers like M. Saravanan accused Ramadoss saying that cigarette smoking and drinking are shown in all movies and that Baba was just being "picked on" by the PMK leader because of his popularity in Vanniar areas which is considered PMK bastion. To stop controversies, Rajinikanth reported that he was not going to act in any roles that require him to drink or smoke. In keeping his words, the roles he appeared in thereafter did not show the actor drinking or smoking.<br />
<br />
Following the release of Kuselan in Karnataka on August 1, 2008, Rajinikanth thanked the Kannada film industry for allowing the release of his latest film and lifting the ban. He gave an open statement clarifying his stand to the people of Karnataka and regretted for not being clear in his speech during the South Indian Film Artistes' Association's hunger strike for the Hogenakkal Integrated Drinking Water Project, which many Kannada activists and politicians found offending. Actors Sathyaraj, Radha Ravi, and R. Sarathkumar condemned the apology as a "disgrace to Tamils.<br />
