Nagarjuna
Nagarjuna's been at this since the mid-80s, son of the legendary Akkineni Nageswara Rao, and he built his own name with films like Shiva (1989) and Mani Ratnam's Geethanjali the same year — the kind of one-two punch that doesn't happen to many actors. Manam in 2014 brought three generations of the Akkineni family onto one screen, including his father's final film appearance, and it's still one of the most emotional watches in Telugu cinema. Four decades in, he's still working — this covers the songs across that entire stretch.

Who Is Nagarjuna?
Akkineni Nagarjuna was born on 29 August 1959 in Madras (now Chennai), the youngest of five children of legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR) and Annapurna. He studied mechanical engineering at the College of Engineering, Guindy, before earning a master's degree in automobile engineering in the United States — a career in engineering he set aside once acting took over. Fans and the industry know him simply as "King" Nagarjuna.
His most acclaimed early role came in "Annamayya" (1997), where he played the poet-saint Annamacharya and won a National Film Award Special Jury recognition — the film ran for 100 days in 42 centers, one of Tollywood's biggest hits of the era. Across more than 90 films, he's won nine state Nandi Awards and three Filmfare Awards South. He also co-owns MAA TV, a Telugu television channel, alongside Chiranjeevi.
