Hailing from Andhra Pradesh, Mr. Krishna started his film career in 1964 with his first debut film, Thene Manasulu (1964.)
Gudachaari 116’ (1966) was his breakthrough film after his debut, Tene Manasulu. He also acted in movies like Mosagallaku Mosagadu (1971,) Pandanti Kapuram (1972,) Devudu Chesina Manushulu (1973,) Alluri Seetharama Raju (1974,) Meena (1974).
