Sunil (actor)



Born Sunil Babu
Feb 28
Bheemavaram, Andhra Pradesh, India
Occupation Actor
Years active 1996-present

Sunil babu is an actor from the Telugu film industry. His roles usually are to provide comic relief to the audience. In Andala Ramudu (2006), he appeared in the lead role for the first time and his Second one as hero is Maryada Ramanna directed by SS Rajamouli. He won several awards for his comic abilities.

Born in Bheemavaram on 13 March 1973, Sunil's early childhood saw the death of his father when he was just five years old. His mother toiled hard to raise him after this incident.

Sunil's early aspirations to the movie industry were fueled by watching films with Chiranjeevi in the lead role. Watching these films right from elementary school, Sunil dreamt of being a good dancer. He even went on to win awards in a local dance competition. With one of his teachers suggesting him of Bachelors in Fine Arts, he pursued this course. Thereafter, he attempted stage theater for a start. Due to his persona, he was not given enough opportunities in the theater.

In 1995, he entered the film industry by performing dances. He thereafter joined a dancing school in Hyderabad but to no real avail. He considered art direction as well to make his ends meet. He wanted to be a villain but was cast in a comic role by the director and the rest is history.

Career

Sunil's career began on a slow note with movies like Second Hand being stopped from production, and 'Peruleni Cinema.

Premakatha and Swayamvaram were his first real opportunities in the industry. However, due to mismatch of events grabbed him of good chances. Chirunavvuto and Nuvve Kavali were the first films that he acted in. Nuvve Kavali was the first one to release to the audience

Sunil acted as a Hero for the first time in his career in the movie Andala Ramudu opposite Aarti Agarwal, in 2006 and his second film as hero is Maryada Ramanna opposite Saloni, directed by SS Rajamouli.

His funny acting in the movie "Nuvvu Naku Nachav" is noteworthy.

Padma Shri Dr.Brahmanandam Kanneganti (Telugu: బ్రహ్మానందం కన్నెగంటి)(born 1 February 1956) is a popular comedian-actor in Telugu Cinema. He is considered as one of the greatest comedy actors in Telugu cinema. He has also entered the Guinness World Records. He has been accoladed with many awards including the Nandi Award. (see ref 1 & external links


Background

Padma Shri Dr. Brahmanandam Kanneganti was born on 1 February 1956 in Andhra Pradesh, India. Prior to films, he was a Telugu lecturer in the town of Attili, a town in West Godavari district in the state of Andhra Pradesh.

He began his film career with popular Telugu director and writer, Jandhyala's Aha Naa Pellanta in which Rajendra Prasad played the lead role. This movie has since become a cult classic among Telugu comedy films. Owing to his comic abilities and impeccable expressions, he is one of the most respected comedians in the history of Tollywood. Nowadays, he is a versatile with comedian roles in Tamil movies as well, such as in Ghilli, Mozhi, Kuselan and Sathyam. Audiences and critics have enjoyed his comedy characters in recent Telugu movies such as Krishna,King, Ready,Adurs,Namo Venkatesha etc.

According to him, Jandhyala, EVV and S.V.Krishna Reddy were the best comedy directors he has ever worked with. He is presently writing a book based on his experiences in the film industry. His dialogue 'thakita thakita 2-4-6' is very much funny in his recent movie 'King'. He coined a new word "jafa" which he uses to scold others. His nee yankamma dialogue is also very popular.

Family

He is married to Lakshmi and has two sons, Raja Goutham and Siddharth. His eldest, Raja Goutham debuted through 'Pallakilo Pellikooturu', a Telugu film. Goutham will be soon seen in another film named 'Vareva' with Sambhavi of MTV Roadies 5.0 fame, as his heroine.

Awards

  • Acharya Nagarjuna University awarded Brahmanandam an honorary doctorate award.
  • He has been selected for 2005 year's Allu Award instituted in the memory of Allu Rama Lingaiah. On 1 October 2005, the award was presented to him at a function in Hyderabad. The award consists of a Swarna Kankanam (Translation: Gold bracelet), a citation and a souvenir.
  • He recently earned a spot in the Guinness World Records for acting in 754 Telugu films in 20 years. It is because no actor in the whole world has ever performed the feat of acting in so many films in just 20 years, in just one language.
  • In January 2009, the Government of India bestowed the coveted title of Padmasri on Brahmanandam for his contributions to art.
  • As on 1 May, he acted in about 840 Telugu movies, a record, which made him reach the Guiness Book of World Records!
  • Selected for Nandi Award for best male comedian for 2008 film, announced in 2009. This was for the film Ready.

In the media

Brahmanandam foreyed into the small screen by conducting a quiz show called Brahmi 10 Lakh Show on iNews Telugu TV News Channel. This is show very similar to the popular Indian quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati.
