JR. NTR
Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (born May 20, 1983) more popularly known as Jr. NTR or just NTR. He is the grandson of the Late Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, who was a legendary actor and former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh. He is fondly called as Tarak by his family, friends and close associates.
Career
NTR began his career as a child actor and dancer. His first step into Tollywood was with the movie "Bala Ramayanam", directed by Gunasekhar. He made his first film after he grew older, Ninnu Choodalani, in 2001, but it failed to perform well at the box office. He went on to gain fame with Student No. 1 (also released in 2001), directed by S.S. Rajamouli, followed by Subbu and Aadi. In January 2003, Rao's film Naaga performed poorly. However, in July 2003 Simhadri became the highest grossing film of the year in Tollywood, and made Rao and director Rajamouli household names.
His first release of 2004, Andhrawala, flopped at the box office, though the next film, Samba, did better, and was at the top of the box office for fifty days. In 2005 his two releases, Naa Alludu and Narasimhudu, flopped again at the box office. In 2006, his film Ashok had a good opening, but did not appease his fans.
His film Rakhi, which proved a success at the box office, has gained Rao good reviews. The film was directed by Krishna Vamsi, and co-stars Ileana D'Cruz and Charmme Kaur. His film, Yamadonga, which was released on August 15, 2007, brought back him and S.S. Rajamouli became the sensational movie of the year 2007 in Tollywood. His latest film, Kantri has made a hit (mainly for his extraordinary dancing skills).
His all-round acting abilities and wonderful performance in 2007 Blockbuster Yamadonga, made Late Legendary Actor Shoban Babu remark that along side Mahesh Babu, Rao is his favorite actor and reckoned he has done everything in a short span of time to impress everyone.

How could he become a CM within 1 year?
NTR, as he was fondly called, launched the Telugu Desam Party in March 1982and on January 5, 1983, to be precise - the fledgling party dealt a crushing blow to the Congress. He was successful in weaning the Telugus from their unflinching loyalty to Indira Gandhi.
Among other reasons why he won the elections was no real alternative to the Congress, lack of development, unemployment etc. The wayward functioning of the Congress in the State and the Andhras' anger over the way the Chief Minister, T. Anjaiah, was insulted in public by Rajiv Gandhi, who was then only the AICC secretary-general, at the Hyderabad airport changed the mood of the public which started looking for an alternative to the Congress. NTR fulfilled that need by espousing the cause of `aarukotla Andhrula atma gauravam' (self-respect of six-crore Andhras). He was very well supported by Ramoji Rao who gave wide publicity through the Telugu daily Eenadu. NTR himself contested elections from the constituency of Gudivada in Krishna District.
Initially ridiculed by the Congress that state politics is not like movie acting among others, TDP was considered a no match for the 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.
Soon after taking over as Chief Minister, NTR kept many of his election promises, which many had then dismissed as populist and earned a place for himself in the heart of Telugus. After his advent, the Telugus elsewhere got their exclusive identity, breaking away from the original tag of `Madrasis'. While emphasising the importance of Telugu, he, however, held out the assurance that the TDP would also encourage and protect the languages and culture of people from other States.
He believed that only strong States could make a strong Centre. He convinced the then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, in this regard which made her change her earlier stance that strong States would mean a weak Centre, says S. Venkat Narayan in his biography of NTR.
Among the most significant change he made was to abolish the Legislative Council of the State of Andhra Pradesh citing the reason that it was a non-performing body which just a burden on the state exchequer. Among the lesser known were the educational reforms he brought about in the state, where he overhauled the entire state education syllabus for schools. These educational reforms were a stepping stone that rose Andhra Pradesh from unknown to top in the Software Industry in the world. NTR lost the subsequent elections held in 1989 mainly to do with his political inexperience and a strong central government lead by Rajiv Gandhi among others. But during the same period he gained valuable experience and had people like N Chandrababu Naidu, Daggubati Venkateswara Rao (both sons-in-Law) in his party.
Even though he lost the 1989 elections, he shot to fame at the national level and was capable of uniting many regional parties. He formed a Third Front with parties like Janata Dal as an alternative to Congress. He offered no competition against PV Narasimha Rao when he was chosen to be the Prime Minister of India, citing that he was proud that an Andhrudu (Andhrite) would hold the highest office in the country.
It is believed that he could have become the Prime Minister of India, as the third-front won the national elections and was struggling to find a leader who was acceptable to all the parties.
NTR stormed back to power in 1994 when he promised he would offer rice at Rs. 2/kg and to make AP an "Alcohol Free" state. True to his word he kept his promises only to burden the state exchequer. Apart from introducing the cheap rice scheme of selling the grain at Rs.2 a kilogram for poor people with a monthly income of Rs.500 or less, he fought with the Centre to amend the Hindu Succession Act to ensure equal property rights to women. He introduced educational reforms and laid the foundation for the Telugu Ganga project to provide drinking water to Madras city apart from irrigating the dry lands of Rayalaseema.
Never before Never again
A person like NTR who rose like a big wave by lifting the spirits of Telugus high will remain as unique in the history of Andhra Pradesh. Tired of the fight long way, he said his veedkolu to his Telugu tammullu and chellellu on Jan18, 1996.
