SV Ranga Rao is one of the most popular and highly talented yester-year legends of Telugu Cinema. He is equally popular to lead actors like Savitri, Jamuna, Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Nandamuri Taraka Ramarao. Even though he is a character actor, his presence in a movie used to guarantee a good level of enthusiasm in the crowd and his style used to be liked by many. His exchanges with ANR, NTR and Savitri, majorly, used to be revered as the best times of Telugu Cinema.
Such an actor died in 1974 and no one could take his place. His absence is still felt and if there any character actors who could come close to his popularity if not in ability, are Rao Gopal Rao and Mohan Babu. Before becoming a hero, Mohan Babu is a highly famous character artist and his dialogue delivery became famous to create a special name for him like Rao Gopal Rao.
As Rao Gopal Rao is no longer alive, Mohan Babu is the only one who can bring SV Ranga Rao to life with his unique ability to match the great actor’s on screen persona. He is acting as SVR in major portions like Mayabazaar film making along with Krrish as K.V. Reddy. As the actor’s role in giving Savitri confidence to dominate the film screen post Mayabazaar is a key element, the director has chosen such huge names to play the big legends on screen. Naga Ashwin is making Mahanati biopic on Savitri and soon, a press conference wil be held to give out further details. Keerthy Suresh, Shalini Pandey, Samantha Akkineni, Dulquer Salmaan are playing key roles in this bilingual..
