Achievements

Nandamuri Harikrishna (2 September 1956 – 29 August 2018) was an Indian actor, producer, and politician. He served as the Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house the Indian Parliament representing the state of Andhra Pradesh from 2008 to 2013. His film works were predominantly in Telugu cinema. And he continued to pursue acting with notable films like Talla Pellamma (1970), Tatamma Kala (1974) and Ram Raheem (1974). The shining moment in his young acting career was when he portrayed the role of Arjuna in Daana Veera Shura Karna (1977), a memorable film in the history of Telugu cinema. However, Nandamuri Harikrishna took a sabbatical from his promising film career for about two decades. He returned to the big screen with a cameo in Sri Ramulayya (1998), which had actor Mohan Babu in the lead role. Then, he appeared in a few other films like Seetharama Raju (1999), Lahiri Lahiri Lahirilo (2002), Siva Rama Raju (2002) and Seetayya (2003). Harikrishna’s deep interest in politics was the main reason why he cut back on acting offers. He was known to be close with his brother-in-law Chandrababu Naidu, the current chief minister of divided Andhra Pradesh. He even supported Naidu, when he had staged a revolt against his father and the then chief minister NTR.
