NTR’s iconic turns in Telugu films like ‘Lava Kusa’ and ‘Sita Rama Kalyanam’ established him as a godly figure on screen. Jr. NTR followed suit with his endearing child Ram in ‘Bala Ramayanam’ (1997), an Oscar-contender caliber kids’ film that won national honors.
Shobhan Babu’s comprehensive ‘Sampoorna Ramayanam,’ Balakrishna’s regal ‘Sri Rama Rajyam,’ and Suman’s blockbuster ‘Sri Ramadasu’ highlight Telugu cinema’s devotion to the epic.
