1986
was
the
year,
a
tall
and
handsome
youngster
forayed
into
the
celluloid
world
through
a
commercially
hit
film
called
Vikram.
The
actor
is
none
other
than
son
of
the
legendary
Akkineni
Nageshwara
Rao
and
it
was
not
difficult
for
him
to
enter
Telugu
cine
industry;
thanks
to
his
father's
enormous
image.
However,
the
young,
talented
and
energetic
actor
was
successful
in
forming
his
own
stardom
and
eventually
got
recognized
from
his
own
name,
Akkineni
Nagarjuna.
Akkineni
Nagurjuna
entered
the
filmdom
in
1986
and
has
acted
in
over
90
movies
across
different
Indian
film
industries
such
as
Tollywood,
Kollywood
and
Bollywood.
Delivering
consistent
hits
at
the
box
office
and
regularly
testing
his
waters
in
the
avenue
of
image
makeover
and
different
characterization,
Nagarjuna
has
been
majorly
successful
in
delivering
favourable
results
and
has
remained
a
prominent
face
of
Telugu
cinema
for
over
three
decades.
King
Nagarjuna,
as
he
is
fondly
known
as
in
the
Tollywood
circles,
is
one
of
the
four
pillars
of
T-Town's
second
generation
sharing
the
space
with
Chiranjeevi,
Balakrishna
and
Venkatesh.
This
actor
turned
businessman
is
known
for
his
share
of
controversies,
fitness
level
and
venturing
himself
into
different
genres
of
movies
which
no
other
contemporaries
of
his
generation
who
possibly
could
be
matching
his
ratio.
Nagarjuna
boasts
of
a
unique
distinction
of
having
introduced
38
new
directors,
29
heroines
and
over
a
100
technicians
through
his
movies.
He
was
labelled
as
the
South
Indian
Supremo,
post
the
euphoric
success
of
his
movie,
Shiva,
which
was
helmed
by
the
maverick
director,
Ram
Gopal
Varma.
Shiva
went
on
to
write
a
new
story
in
the
history
of
Indian
cinema
where
both
Nag
and
the
movie
were
trendsetters
of
sorts
during
the
time
of
the
movie
release.
The
Akkineni
Varasudu
is
a
recipient
of
6
Nandi
awards,
3
Filmfare
South
awards
for
his
performances.
Ninne
Pelladata,
produced
by
himself
had
garnered
National
Award
for
the
best
Telugu
feature
film
and
it
was
Annamayya
which
fetched
him
the
National
award
-
Special
Mention
for
his
acting.
Nagarjuna
not
only
has
enjoyed
phenomenal
success
on
the
silver
screen,
but
has
been
a
darling
of
the
television
viewers
as
he
had
successfully
managed
to
capture
the
attention
of
audience
when
the
star
was
hosting,
Meelo
Evaru
Koteeshwarudu,
a
TV
reality
show.
Nag
is
a
co-founder
of
Blue
cross,
Hyderabad,
and
is
often
seen
doing
a
decent
amount
of
philanthropic
activities
showcasing
the
responsible
side
of
the
suave
actor.
At
present,
Nagarjuna
is
on
a
roll
with
three
back-to-back
hits
in
the
form
of
Manam,
Soggade
Chinna
Nayana
&
Oopiri
though
Om
Namo
Venkatesaya
tanked
at
the
box
office.
The
57-year-old
actor
is
still
giving
a
run
for
the
young
actor's
money
and
seems
to
be
posing
a
great
threat
to
his
own
sons
through
his
impeccable
dressing
style
and
umpteen
amount
of
charm
and
attitude.
We
wish
that
Nagarjuna
mesmerizes
us
with
more
and
more
innovative
works
and
different
attempts
in
the
coming
days.
Wishing
the
ever
charming
and
the
most
handsome
star
of
T-town
on
the
occasion
of
completing
31
splendid
years
in
the
cinema
industry.
