My only training was the way my father made those films with me when I was a child star. It couldn’t have been done more beautifully.” shared the 44-year-old.

It was in the year 1999 that the actor made his official debut with the film Raja Kumarudu, which won him the State Nandi Award for Best Male Debut. This film also garnered much love from the audience and earned him the title of ‘Prince of Tollywood’.

“I haven’t seen a more disciplined and dedicated person. He doesn’t settle for less. And he can balance work-life very well” added his wife Namrata who also happens to be his manager while talking about the actor’s work-life balance.
