RAVI TEJA ENTRY TO THE TELUGU MOVIE INDUSTRY:

Ravi Teja belongs to the cadre of the people who worked hard in coming up the success ladder. Ravi Teja spent most of his child in North India. His father was a pharmacist and his mother, an engineer with Tata Industries.. Due to his job nature, there was frequent change in the places he lived. RaviTeja was brought up and educated in the north - Delhi, Bhopal, Jaipur and Bombay. Later on, he moved along with his family to Vijayawada and joined Siddharatha degree college.

His interest in films has brought him into the film industry. He worked as an assitant director in the beginning. Prathibandh, Aaj Ka goondaraj and Criminal are few of the films that he played the role of an assistant director.His friend Y.V.S Chowdary helped him to obtain some offers from Bollywood as a script writer. He also did small roles. He acted as one of the friends of Chiranjeevi in Aaj Ka Goondaraj. Ravi Teja joined Krishna vamsi as an assistant director for Ninne Pelladatha. He also did a petty role in the film. Following Ninne Pelladatha, Krishnavamsi gave him the real break by casting him in a village macho role in Sindhuram. The character Chanti clicked great. Though he got a good name for Sindhuram, his career did not profit much from that. He did some secondary roles in Premaku Velayara and Padutha Thiyaga.

It was Nee Kosam directed by a debutante director Srinu Vaitla, that once again proved to the Telugu Film Industry, what it is failing to notice - A very talented actor. The awards committe noticed it. And he bagged an award for his performance in Nee Kosam. His secondary roles continued again with films like 'Annayya', 'Budget Padmanabam', 'Tirumala Tirupati Venkatesa', 'Ammayi Kosam'.

Raviteja got the break of his lifetime with Itlu Sravani Subramanyam. Puri Jagannath, who is desperately looking to establish himself in the industry, after the failure of 'Bachi', paired up with Ravi Teja to deliver Itlu Sravani Subramanyam. The movie was well received and also got them good name. That's the turning point in his carrer.


Vamsi, who was planning his comeback innings, directed RaviTeja for 'Avunu Validharu Ishtapaddaru'. It definitely welcomed Vamsi back into the industry and added another hit to Ravi Teja. Meanwhile, his friend Poori Jagannaath, who made the biggest hit of the year in Kannada, Appu, decided to remake the film in Telugu with Ravi Teja. This time he wanted to produce the film too. Idiot came out and set a new image for Ravi Teja and poured life into Vaishno Academy established by Puri Jagannath.

In 2003, Teja played the lead role in Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi, which became one of the biggest hits in his career. He also starred in other average flicks in that year as well. In 2004, he starred in one hit (Venky) and two flops (Naa Autograph & Chanti). In 2005, Teja played the lead role in Dil Raju's 'Bhadra', which became a big hit and completed a hatrick for Dil Raju. He also starred in 'Bhageeradha', which was hardly recognized at box office. The year 2006 has been very special to Teja as he gave his career biggest hit Vikramarkudu, despite the flop film Shock. Ravi Teja, delivering three big hits consecutively is mentioned by the media as hatrick hero. The path is definitely looking great for him with good films lined up.His son was born in July 2006.
