ANR perhaps is the one actor who can truly lay claim to the title of a living legend in “Tollywood.” 70 of his 88 years have been dedicated to acting. For sheer diversity of roles, this thespian has done it all. Lover boy, saint, father, grandfather, brother, lovelorn drunk, playboy and even God, there is not a single character under whose skin he has not slipped into. From the beginning, ANR has revealed himself to be a shrewd judge of a script and has done experimental roles long before such a phrase even existed in Tollywood.
In a recent interview to a regional daily, ANR revealed that he had told the late NTR not to take a plunge in politics and said that he loved living his life in peace. In a separate context he also revealed that he loved the idea of gundamma Katharine being remade with NTR jr and nag chaitanya and said that the true challenge would be finding an artiste suitable to play the role of gundamma. The actor who is currently playing a key role in Srirama RajyAm said that he will continue acting as long as his health permits.Filmnews.co.in wishes ANR a Very Happy Birthday.
