Respected Sir/Madam,

Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (Telugu:నందమూరి తారక రామా రావు)(28 May 192318 January 1996), more commonly known as N.T. Rama Rao, NTR by his fans, or Anna garu, was an Indian film actor, director, producer, and politician.He founded the Telugu Desam Party and served three times as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. His repertoire of films included mythological, social, and folk themes. He was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India in the 1960s, recognising his contribution to Telugu cinema. After his film career, Rao became a political activist and party leader.

Career as an actor: -
Rama Rao was referred to by fans as "Nata Ratna" and " Vishwa Vikhyatha Nata Sarvabhouma" (Emperor of Acting)n in Telugu.
Though widely recognized for playing mythological characters, NTR is considered as one of the greatest actors in Telugu film, and in general in South Indian films. His portrayal of Lord Krishna in Film Maya Bazaar, was the turning point in his life. His portrayal of Ravana and avatars of Vishnu, especially Rama and Krishna; mesmerized an entire generation who saw the face of Rao when these gods were mentioned.

Political Career: -
Rama Rao formed the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) on 29 March 1982. While promoting a new film, he was asked a question by a person in the audience 'అయ్యా, మేము మిమ్మల్ని దేవుడు లాగా ఆదరించాము, కానీ మీరు మాకు ఏమి చేసారు?' meaning Sir, we have treated you like a God but what have you done for us?. He was so moved by this that he formed TDP, and with a victory in the immediate election, formed the government and ruled the state of Andhra Pradesh for a full term. He went into the elections with the slogan Telugu vari Atma Gauravam which meant "Telugu people's self-respect."
Like his films, the formation of the party and storming into the assembly was very dramatic. TDP came into power within nine months of its formation. Initially ridiculed by the Congress that state politics is not like movie acting among others, TDP was considered a no match for the Indian National Congress, with the local representatives unheard of, the complete burden rested on the shoulders of NTR, and true to his charisma he won the elections with a landslide majority.

Personal life Career: -
NTR was survived by eight sons and four daughters. Among his sons Nandamuri Balakrishna is a popular film actor in Telugu. NTR's daughter Bhuvaneswari who is also the wife of N. Chandrababu Naidu is the Vice-Chairperson of Heritage Foods one of South India's largest dairy company and Purandareswari, is a Minister For Human Resources Development in the Indian Central Government. Daggubati Venkateswara Rao is a member of AP Assembly. He has several grand sons and daughters, the well known amongst them are NTR Jr.,Nara Lokesh , Nara Brahmani, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram,.
NTR married Basavatarakam. NTR has eight sons and four daughters.
NTR's sons are: Ramakrishna Jayakrishna, Sai krishna, Harikrishna, Mohankrishna, Balakrishna, Ramakrishna, Jayashankarkrishna,
NTR's daughters are: Lokehswari, Bhuvaneswari wife of Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Purandareswari wife of Daggubati Venkateswara Rao, Uma Maheswari.
