Uday Kiran
Entered Tollywood in 2000 and made a mark with a grand hat-trick
- Chitram
- Nuvvu Nenu
- Manasantha Nuvve
Won the best actor Filmfare award in 2001 (at the age of 21).
His first four movies were remade in other languages.
His life was messed up when Chiranjeevi’s daughter wanted to marry him.
Though the great actor got his daughter engaged to Uday Kiran (in 2003), the engagement was later called off.
Uday Kiran was literally displaced from Tollywood owing to the influence of Chiranjeevi.
Though he started acting in Tamil films, got married, he later succumbed to financial problems and depression. He committed suicide in 2014.
It is very unfortunate that in the great battle of talent vs ego, talent died. And it had to be Uday Kiran.
Had he been a son of another hero or a director or a rich man, he would have survived.
