More than 1000+ films in Telugu and Tamil as a Comedian. Inspiration for many successful comedians of Today’s era like Sunil and Krishna Bhagavaan. An Actor who can make people laugh only with his expression, without a single dialogue, in entire film. Irrespective of the Jorner of the film, a personality, who is always in demand. An Artist, with whom every Director wants to work. Comedy king, ‘Bible’ for all aspiring Comedians, Dr. Bramhanandam.
Noticing his work to Telugu Cinema, Bramhanandam has been awarded with the Padma Shri by the Government of India, an honorary doctorate by Acharya Nagarjuna University and the Nandi Award by the Government of Andhra Pradesh among others. He is also a Guinness World Record-holder for acting in more than 750 films in a single language.
With no so called back ground in film Industry, only with talent Dr. Bramhanandam is one of those Artists who have achieved the Sky. ‘Haasya Bramha’ Director Jandhyaala’s “Ahanaa Pellanta’ was the first film of Bramhanandam. Director Jandhyala is one that person, who has given not only a first chance, but a role for Bramhanandam in almost every movie that he directed.
One Success Mantra that Bramhanandam follows till date is dedication and passion towards his work. If you see Bramhanandam’s performance in ‘Amma’ and ‘Babai Hotel’ then you know his acting Skills. Audience came to know that the Actor is not just for comedy, but is an extra ordinary performer who can deliver any emotion, perfectly.
Bramhanandam was a Lecturer by Profession. Passion towards Cinema made him enter the film Industry and achieve what he is today. If you want to notice Bramhanandam’s peak performance, then you should definitely watch Director Jandhyaala’s creation ‘Bava Bava Panneeru’ where he shares the comedy space with Kota Srinivasa Rao and Raalla Palli. Also, worth mentioning, his performance with his co – star Kovai Sarala in the comedy flick.

As far as my association with films and knowledge about acting is concerned, it is not easy for anyone to depict comedy. After lot of hard work, lots of retakes of a shot while shooting comes a final out put that we sit back, watch and criticize or appreciate.
Cinema is like their Baby for every artist, Director, Cameraman, Technician and comedian who works for a film. If we can’t appreciate this, let us not even criticize any comedian, who make us laugh, hiding their true emotions behind their face.
