the hindi remake of Shiva. After a spate of
failures, movies such as President gari
pellam and Hello Brother gave him the status
of a mass hero.His career is marked by huge
swings in terms of box-office successes and
failures. After a period of lull, Ninne
Pelladutha directed by Krishna Vamsi
followed and was a huge hit. Later, he took
up the challenge of portraying
Annamacharya, the legendary singer/poet
of Medieval times in the movie Annamayya. It
ran for 100 days in 42 centers.Again, lean
and successful patches alternated in his
career. According to him, the failures have
made him realize about the bad films he had
performed in and made him learn from those
mistakes. He revived his father’s Annapoorna
Studios and has become one of the most
successful producers of recent times in
Tollywood. He had produced a film starring
his nine-month old son Akhil in Sisindri,
