Star kids who made a mark in the Telugu film industry

Star kids are nowadays in constant spotlight, thanks to their celebrity parents. Many of them have grown up to be super successful actors too. Let's take a look at some star kids who have managed to make a mark in the Telugu film industry.

Sure, his father Chiranjeevi is Mega Star of Tollywood. However, Ram Charan is soon following his father’s footsteps and stomping down the big screen with his magnificent acting. After having entered Tollywood at a young age, today Ram Charan is unbeatable. He was recently lauded for his performance in ‘Rangasthalam’. With a set of distinctive roles by his side, the talented actor has already made a mark in the industry just like his father.

Stylish star Allu Arjun is already a force to reckon with. We know that he is the second eldest child of the noted film producer Allu Aravind. However, despite following his father footsteps, he’s never relied on his fame to help him succeed. Allu Sirish made his debut in ‘Gouravam’ and scored hits with ‘Kotha Janta’, 'Srirastu Subhamasthu’ and ‘Okka Kshanam’.

It’s no surprise that ‘Vikram’ actor Akkineni Nagarjuna is one of the most sought-after Tollywood superstars. He is the son of late Akkineni Nageswara Rao, a legendary actor and heartthrob of many. The 'Majnu' star can still give a tough competition to the young and upcoming stars of Tollywood. He has also essayed devotional roles in award-winning films such as ‘Annamayya’ and ‘Sri Ramadasu’.

And while we just spoke about Akkineni Nagarjuna, his kids Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and Akkineni Akhil are not far behind. They have not only inherited his fashion sense but also his spectacular acting skills. Naga Chaitanya (son from first wife) grew up in the film industry because of his father, courtesy his father's superstar status and also his mother's connection with the film industry. Like his father, Naga Chaitanya has also become an award-winning actor. Nagarjuna's second son Akhil (son from second wife) has already started to make waves in the films and his recent hit was ‘Hello’.

Nandamuri Balakrishna is a triple Nandi Award-winning actor and politician. His father, Viswa Vikyatha Nata Sarvabhouma Nata Ratna Padma Sri Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao was just as well loved on the big-screen, working almost 44 years in showbiz and on politics and Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh for seven years over three terms. Balayya is also politically active and now he is an MLA from Hindupur constituency, Andhra Pradesh. It’s no wonder he is influenced by his father.

Mohan Babu has three children - ‘Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna, Manchu Vishnu and Manchu Manoj. Manchu Lakshmi has produced films like ‘Nenu Meeku Telusa...?’, ‘Jhummandi Naadam’, and ‘Uu Kodathara? Ulikki Padathara?’. She is also a famous actress in Tollywood. Vishnu Manchu shot to fame for his roles in films like ‘Dhee’, ‘Denikaina Ready’, ‘Doosukeltha’, ‘Anukshanam’ and ‘Eedo Rakam Aado Rakam’. Manoj is known for his films such as ‘Bindaas’, ‘Pandavulu Pandavulu Thummeda’, and ‘Current Theega’.

Nandamuri Harikrishna has three sons – Janaki Ram, Kalyanram and Jr NTR and a daughter – Suhasini. Janaki Ram died in a fatal car accident. Both Kalyanram and Jr NTR are now actors in the Telugu film industry. That being said, they are inarguably the most famous actors in Tollywood right now. Especially, Jr NTR followed in his grand father’s footsteps to become an A-list actor.
