#Nandamuri #HariKrishna Reign Career In His Life #jr.ntr #nandamuri kalyanram #balakrishna

The Telugu audience woke up to quite a shock on Wednesday morning, with the passing away of Nandamuri Harikrishna in a fatal accident. The actor turned politician, known as the fourth son of the legendary Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao passed away at 61. His sons - step brothers Kalyan Ram and Jr.NTR - are leading stars in the Telugu film industry.

Harikrishna was not your charming, tall dark and handsome actor like many of his peers. The actor was first known as a child artist and later crafted an image for himself as a mass and family drama man, during the 2000s. Most of his stints as a child artist was alongside his father NTR and under the family banner - Ramakrishna Cine Studios. His screen presence that runs in his blood, all began with Shri Krishnavataram where he played little Krishna and he went on to movies like Tatamma Kala alongside his brother Balakrishna as well.

In a career spanning just 13 films, Harikrishna's blockbuster till date, remains - Daana Veera Soora Karna. While the '70s film is popularly remembered for NTR's versatility and triple role as Karna, Duryodhana and Krishna, it was also Harikrishna's most succesful Telugu drama yet, with him taking over as Arjuna alongside his brother Balakrishna as Abhimanyu. Though the two featured in Ram Raheem prior to this, it was the later that put them in the spotlight..
