He also played the lead roles in utterly fantastic ‘Yamaleela’ in 1994, ‘Ghatotkachudu’ in 1995. There haven’t been a handful of comedy actors who survived the child star affliction and came out relatively unharmed. He can rock in any role and still be a star. His effortless and impeccable comic timing is unmatched.

Vennela Kishore has become one of the most sought-after young comedy stars in Tollywood these days.
