Who are my favourite actors in Tollywood? ❤️ Telugu cinema has given us some extraordinary actors across generations. I have immense respect for every hero, from legendary names like ANR, NTR and Chiranjeevi to Ravi Teja, Srihari, Mohan Babu, Nani and many others who built their careers through hard work and talent. But if I have to pick my three all-time favourites, these are my choices. 1. Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR) – The Evergreen Legend ANR was one of the greatest pioneers of Telugu cinema. Coming from a humble agricultural family, he built an extraordinary career spanning more than seven decades. From the timeless classic Devadasu to Tenali Ramakrishna and Meghasandesam, his versatility and emotional performances remain unforgettable. His honours include: - Padma Shri (1968) - Padma Bhushan (1988) - Dadasaheb Phalke Award (1990) - Padma Vibhushan (2011) More than 250 films and an unforgettable legacy. ANR will always be special. 2. Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR) – The Man Who Became an Institution NTR was not just an actor; he was a phenomenon. Whether portraying Lord Krishna, Lord Rama or powerful historical characters, he brought an extraordinary screen presence that generations still remember. His performances in Mayabazar, Lava Kusa, Pathala Bhairavi and Dana Veera Soora Karna remain iconic. And his journey didn't stop at cinema. He founded the Telugu Desam Party in 1982 and became Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh in 1983. He went on to serve three terms. He received the Padma Shri in 1968 and the Filmfare Best Actor award for Badi Panthulu. A legendary actor who also left a permanent mark on Andhra Pradesh politics. 3. Chiranjeevi – The Megastar Konidela Siva Sankara Vara Prasad, popularly known as Chiranjeevi, is one of the biggest self-made superstars Telugu cinema has ever witnessed. His dancing skills, screen presence, action sequences, comedy timing and ability to adapt to different roles made him a generation-defining star. From Khaidi and Swayamkrushi to Indra, Tagore and Rudraveena, his filmography speaks for itself. His achievements include: - Padma Bhushan (2006) - Indian Film Personality of the Year (2022) - Padma Vibhushan (2024) - 3 Nandi Awards - 9 Filmfare Awards for Best Actor His contribution to society through blood donation and eye donation initiatives deserves equal respect. These three legends are my personal favourites. I respect every generation of Telugu actors, but ANR, NTR and Chiranjeevi hold a special place in my heart. What about you?
