Biography

Brahmanandam, often regarded as the greatest comedian the Telugu film industry has ever produced, hails from Muppala village near Sattenapalli. He earned an M.A. in Telugu and worked as a lecturer in the subject before being introduced to the film industry by Jandhyala through a role in the movie *Chantabbai* (1986). Earlier, in 1968, he won the Best Supporting Actor award at an inter-collegiate competition in Narasaraopet and received a fancy dress competition award for his portrayal of the character 'Modabbayi.' After a short break, he was cast by D. Rama Naidu in *Aha Naa Pellanta* (1987), after which he continued his career in films without interruption.
