Krishna - Evergreen Superstar Of Telugu Cinema

Superstar Krishna is not two words. It is a single entity that revolutionized Telugu cinema making. He introduced many first things to Tollywood and kept it on the map of world cinema. He dared to do things no one even imagined. Krishna is a producer's hero, director's hero, fan's hero, and Telugu Cinema's Favourite Superstar. With a career spanning over five decades, and more than 360 films, Krishna leaves his mark wherever Telugu Cinema takes a new turn.

The Rise Of Krishna 

Krishna made his acting debut with Tene Manasulu. He scored a superior with his first film itself. But, Krishna doesn't want to confine himself to a particular image. He wanted to try different roles and leave a mark on his own. He got close to the masses with the spy film Gudachari 116. He became Telugu James Bond. His films Love In Andhra, Andariki Monagadu, Master Khiladi, James Bond 777, Agent Gopi, Rahasya Gudachari, and Gudachari 117 fall under the spy genre in which the audience wanted to see Krishna only in those roles.

Krishna Taking Tollywood To Global

Krishna is the first hero who brought Western films to Telugu Cinema. The first even Telugu cowboy film Mosagallaku Mosagadu is made by him. The film not only got dubbed into Tamil, Hindi, and other Indian languages but it was also dubbed into foreign languages with the title Treasure Hunt. Krishna also starred in the first color crime thriller movie Ave Kallu. The film became a pathbreaking hit and he continued to star in numerous successful thrillers later on.

Iconic Characters Of Superstar

Krishna's Alluri Seetharama Raju created history. He is the one-man army for the film. He created an impression that none other than him can do justice to the legendary freedom fighter's role. The film became a historical hit. Krishna while having superstardom made a revolutionary film Eenadu without any songs and scored a memorable hit. These are not something that any star hero would dare to do. 

His Simhasanam is another film that created a milestone in Telugu Cinema. It is the first 70 MM and 6 Track Stereo Phonic Sound system movie in Telugu. It was simultaneously shot in Telugu and Hindi. It created a sensation that Tollywood has never witnessed before. Krishna is also the hero who acted in most multi-starrers. He did more than 50 films with NTR, ANR, Sivaji Ganesan, Rajinikanth, Sobhan Babu, Krishnam Raju, Chiranjeevi, BalaKrishna, Nagarjuna, Mohan Babu. He also acted along with his sons Ramesh Babu and Mahesh Babu in Mugguru Kodukulu which is produced and directed by himself.

The Producers Hero

Superstar Krishna is always a producer's hero. He is there if any producer lost money because of his films and he did many films for free or less remuneration to compensate for losses. He worked for 18 hours a day and made films round the clock. He is a successful Director who delivered All Time blockbusters and Superhit Producer who made many super hits not only in Telugu but also in Hindi and Tamil under his Padmalaya Studios banner. His iconic film Mosagallaku Mosagadu is remastered in 4k and is releasing in a wide range on his birthday today (May 31).
