The Telugu film industry is one of the most influential industries that has given birth to several superstar families. Like every other parent who wants their children to follow in their footsteps or even take their legacy forward, even the Tollywood superstars want their kids to rule the industry as they did. However, whether their Telugu movies work or not, completely depends on their talent and audience appreciation.
Not every son or daughter of a superstar ends up being one themselves. However, there are some exceptionally talented actors who have not only made their way into the hearts of people but also made their parents proud. It is said that the son is a replica of his father. And some Tollywood actors have really stood true to this. Today, let’s take a look at some such father-son duos from Tollywood that are ruling the heart of all Telugu movie fans:
- Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan
The Megastar of Telugu movies, Chiranjeevi, has been ruling the industry for decades now. Even today, the actor has millions of fans that love and admire him. So, it’s safe to say that his son, Ram Charan had some huge shoes to fill in. However, the RRR actor has easily made his own way into the audience’s hearts with his charming personality and incredible acting skills.
- Nandamuri Harikrishna and Jr. NTR
Jr. NTR has had not only his father Nandamuri Harikrishna but also his grandfather NTR as his inspiration. While Harikrishna was a celebrated actor and politician, NTR was the absolute definition of a Telugu superstar. No wonder, Jr. NTR has a love for cinema running through his veins. This RRR actor has also earned a huge fanbase thanks to some of his amazing performances.
- Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya
If looks could kill, we would’ve been dead by now, all thanks to the Akkineni clan. As if Nagarjuna wasn’t enough, his sons Naga Chaitanya and Akhil Akkineni have been equally blessed in both acting and good looks. In fact, Naga Chaitanya has been working neck to neck with his father Nagarjuna. Their latest film together, Bangarraju, showcased the wonderful camaraderie between Nagarjuna and Naga Chaitanya. It was an absolute treat to watch for anyone who loves Telugu movies.
- Allu Aravind and Allu Arjun
Throughout his acting career, the Pushpa actor has always been “fire”. He’s the son of Allu Aravind, a famous Indian producer, and distributor working in the Telugu film industry. While his father works behind the camera, Allu Arjun is busy mesmerizing the audience with his incredible onscreen performances.
- Krishna and Mahesh Babu
Popularly known as the Prince of Telugu movies, Mahesh Babu entered the industry at a very young age. In fact, he made his debut as a child actor alongside his father Krishna in the 1983 movie Poratam. He later worked as a child artist in several Telugu films. As he grew older, so did his fanbase, thanks to some swoon-worthy performances by the actor. Even today, when he’s 47 years old, Mahesh Babu manages to captivate the audience with his brilliant performances.
