He gave new dimensions to the dances with his variety steps and at one time, people used throng to theaters to see his magical steps in his musical blockbusters. Akkineni's image is not restricted just to Andhra Pradesh alone. His characters do have Indian wide exposure. His 'Devdas' belongs to Bengali state, 'Kalidas' belongs to north, 'Tukaram' and 'Kora Gumbhara' belongs to Maha Rastra, 'Jayadeva' role belongs to Orissa and 'Kshetrayya' role belongs to Andhra Pradesh. By acting in films having background of various regions of India, he truly showed the national integrity and unity in diversity.

He is liberally graced with all the awards an actor can get. He is the recipient of Dada Saheb Phalke Award, the greatest honor for an actor in this country. He is also the recipient of Raghupati Venkayya Award, the best award for any actor at state level. He also grabbed the Kalidasu award granted by MP Government at national level. Not to mention the NTR National award given by our state government. He is recently been appointed as an adviser to the State Film Development Corporation. Though, it was an official position for ANR, he was voluntarily helping the film industry in various ways since ages. He was the first Telugu hero to migrate from Chennai to Hyderabad to develop film industry in AP. He laid the foundation stone for Hyderabad Telugu cinema by announcing that all his producers have to produce their films in AP, if ANR has to act in them. He gave a five-point plan to state government about how to improve the Telugu Cinema industry in AP in 1963.

Since there were no studios in AP at that time, ANR has put in his hard-earn money to build the glorious Annapurna studios. After seeing the deterioration in the number of films getting produced in AP, he incorporated an award for the best film to encourage the filmmakers. State Government is presenting Akkineni Nageswara Rao award every year. ANR never cared for commercial success when it comes to producing films on his own banner, Annapurna Pictures. He did two noble films, Sudi Gundalu and Maro Prapancham. These two films flopped as Andhra people couldn't appreciate them. Otherwise, there would have been more message-oriented films in the future.

His last public appearance was at screening of Maya Bazar which was recently colored going to release soon. 

Awards

Nageswara Rao was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 1990 for his lifetime contributions to Indian cinema. He is also a recipient of the Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri. He received NTR National Award for the year 2005.

Contribution

He is the first person to cause the shift of Telugu film industry to Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh from Chennai, Tamilnadu in an attempt to bring the native language to the heart of the Telugu community. Soon after moving to Hyderabad, Nageswara Rao founded his own production house, Annapoorna Studios (named after his wife Akkineni Annapoorna), located in Banjara Hills.

Premabhishekam

Akkineni's Premabhishekam (directed by Dasari Narayana Rao) is one of the biggest hits in Tollywood. Premabhishekam had an amazing 533 days run in Hyderabad City which is still highest run in a city for telugu movies. Premabhishekam is the only Telugu film that ran for 365+ days continuously.[3]

Entry Of Stars: The Second World War, that commenced around this period, effected film production. The rise in prices of raw film, forced filmmakers to reduce the length. A law was passed restricting filmmakers to make films of eleven thousand feet. Till then they were making films of length around 20,000 feet. Quite a few production units ceased their work. Only about fourteen films were made in 1943-44 of which 'Panthulamma' and 'Chenchulakshmi' were notable.

'Panthulamma' was of Sarathi Films directed by Gudavalli Ramabramham with Lakshmi Rajyam and Umamaheswara Rao in the lead. Noted singer PG Krishnaveni, more popularly known as Jikki, began her career as a child artiste with this film. She played a young girl who learnt a song from the musician-heroine Lakshmirajyam.

Kamala Kotnis and CH Narayana Rao figured in 'Chenchulakshmi'. Because of active editing to reduce the length of the film to prescribed level, the narration speeded up and quality improved. Another significant feature of this period was the launch of Renuka Films by Chittoor V. Nagaiah.

ANR in 'Sri Sitarama Jananam' (1944).

ANR's Entry: Around this time Ghantasala Balaramaiah picked up from the Bejawada railway platform a young man in his teens, named Akkineni Nageswara Rao who was returning from a nearby town after taking part in a stage play. Balaramaiah gave him the role of Srirama in his 'Sri Sitarama Jananam'. This film was released in 1944.


It was also the 'Jananam' (birth) of ANR as hero in Telugu cinema. Earlier, as already mentioned, he played a child's role in Dharmapatni (1941). Nageswara Rao recalls that he was a fifteen-year-old boy then. He regards 'Sri Sitarama Jananam' as his first film as a hero. Since then he continues to be the leading man of Telugu cinema, even at this age of eighty four. He contributed a lot to the golden era of Telugu cinema.


'Tahshildar' was another interesting film released this year with CH Narayana Rao in the lead. MS Rama Rao, the first playback singer of Telugu cinema played a boatman's role and sang the most famous Yenki Paata of Nanduri Subba Rao - 'Yee Reyi Nannolla Nerava Raaja'. The song was the hot favourite of many music lovers those days.


'Mayalokam' and 'Swargaseema' were the best among the thirteen films made in 1945-46. 'Mayalokam' was made by Sarathi Films and was directed by Gudavalli Ramabrahmam. Kannamba, Govindarajula Subbarao and CSR Anjaneyulu played the main roles. ANR also appeared in the film in a small role of a prince. ANR later worked with the director on 'Palnati Yuddham'.


Swargaseema (Synopsis of the film): BN Reddy directed this movie under the banner of Vauhini Pictures Limited. Murthy (Chittoor V. Nagaiah), editor of Sahitya Bharathi, and Kalyani (B. Jayamma) are wife and husband. Murthy visits his father-in-law's for a festival and there he happens to see street play artiste Subbalakshmi (Bhanumati) and understands her potential talent to be a stage artiste. He tells her father to take her to a drama company in Madras. The manager of the company (Kasturi Sivarao) changes Subbalakshmi's name as Sujatha and gives her the role of the heroine in a play. Fascinated by her charm, Murthy neglects his wife and children. Murthy's wife ekes out livelihood by tailoring. After some time, Murthy realizes his mistake and is reunited with his wife and children.

First Talkie film of Telugu Cinema 'Bhakta Prahlada' was released in 1931. Akkineni Nageswara Rao's (ANR) first film was released in 1941. It shows that the Telugu Cinema followed him except for the first 10 years. Knowing about Dr. Akkineni is like reading the encyclopedia of Telugu Cinema.

There is only one era for Telugu cinema as for as the Telugu Cinema is concerned. That is called Akkineni era. He gave new dimensions to the dances with his variety steps and at one time, people used throng to theaters to see his magical steps in his musical blockbusters.

Akkineni's image is not restricted just to Andhra Pradesh alone. His characters do have Indian wide exposure. His 'Devdas' belongs to Bengali state, 'Kalidas' belongs to north, 'Tukaram' and 'Kora Gumbhara' belongs to Maha Rastra, 'Jayadeva' role belongs to Orissa and 'Kshetrayya' role belongs to Andhra Pradesh. By acting in films having background of various regions of India, he truly showed the national integrity and unity in diversity.

He is liberally graced with all the awards an actor can get. He is the recipient of Dada Saheb Phalke Award, the greatest honor for an actor in this country. He is also the recipient of Raghupati Venkayya Award, the best award for any actor at state level. He also grabbed the Kalidasu award granted by MP Government at national level. Not to mention the NTR National award given by our state government. He is recently been appointed as an adviser to the State Film Development Corporation. Though, it was an official position for ANR, he was voluntarily helping the film industry in various ways since ages. He was the first Telugu hero to migrate from Madras (now known as Chennai) to Hyderabad to develop film industry in AP.

State Government is presenting Akkineni Nageswara Rao award every year. ANR never cared for commercial success when it comes to producing films on his own banner, Annapurna Pictures. He did two noble films, Sudi Gundalu and Maro Prapancham. These two films flopped as Andhra people couldn't appreciate them. Otherwise, there would have been more message-oriented films in the future.

Akkineni Nageswara Rao complete his 81st year today (20th September 2005). On this occasion, we at idlebrain.com, wish the legend of Telugu Cinema a happy birthday and many more birthdays like this in the future.
