Om Shanti #KrishnamRaju gaaru,in an era when Telugu cinema was dominated by the Big 4- NTR, ANR, Krishna and Shoban Babu he established his own identity as a Rebel Star, Angry Young Man. Worked his way up starting with side roles, villian roles before making it as a hero. 
His personality, deep voice, acting made him the perfect fit for the intense action roles. Series of hits like Katakatala Rudrayya, Bebulli, Rangoon Rowdy, Bobilli Brahmanna made him a star in his own right. Had a very successful combo with K.Raghavendra Rao, Dasari.
His Antima Teerpu in 1988 is todate one of the best thriller movies in Telugu cinema. He had an excellent combination with Bapu, two memorable movies Bhakta Kannappa and Mana Voori Pandavulu, both big success. #KrishnamRaju
His personality and voice made him really suitable for period epics like Tandra Paparayudu based on Bobilli Yuddham and Viswanatha Nayakudu where he bought to life the great emperor Shri Krishna Deva Raya on screen. #KrishnamRaju
One memorable movie was Bhakta Kannappa, based on the story of the tribal devotee of Shiva, who offers his eyes to him. Movie also brings out the legend begin Sri Kaalahasti. One of his best performances. #KrishnamRaju
He was equally good in emotional roles like in Amara Deepam, breaking away from his usual angry young man image. Also was twice BJP MP, served as Union Minister. With him gone, only Krishna is left now as the last surviving member of the generation that dominated TFI once.
Apart from his movie career #KrishnamRaju gaaru as MP had passed the bill to prevent Cow Slaughter in Parliament in 2000. Not many know this about him. Respect for him in this aspect.
