In Re Akkineni Nageswara Rao, in ‘Seeta ramajananam’, he essayed the role of Lord Rama and it was his first mythological movie. He did not do any dance in ‘Iddaru Mitrulu’ but his first dual role; his dancing talent came into focus much later in films like ‘Buddhimantudu’, ‘Poola Rangadu’, ‘ Dasara Bullodu’ etc. His turning point in film land came with ‘Keelu Gurram’ – a run away hit followed by ‘ Balaraju’ – which was a folklore , not a mythological as mentioned. His success was further cemented by ‘ Suvarna Sundari’ – another folklore which was one of his biggest musical hits (In 1971 ‘Dasara Bullodu’ – a social, family drama surpassed it and became his biggest musical hit of his career ). His histrionics were lauded for his role of Sharat’s Devadas by one and all including Dilip kumar. The success of ‘Devadasu’ established him in social films while his contemporary, later actor turned politician NTR firmly entrenched himself in folklore and mythological films.
In spite of his being one of the most popular commercial heroes for a longtime, ANR could muster up courage to make message oriented movies like ‘ Sudigunadalu’ and ‘Maro Prapancham’ much later in his career whereas NTR made his very own 2nd production ‘ Todu Dongalu’ – from a socialistic genre very early in his career.
