How often do we see people who are outsiders to the film industry, enter it, endeavor through the hardships and secure a unique place for themselves. Srikanth, often referred as the hero with chocolate looks, has come far from the time he entered tollywood with his debut film Peoples Encounter. Born on 23rd March of 1968 in Vijayawada, Srikanth was born and brought up in Gangavathi in Karnataka and studied there till his tenth standard. Later Srikanth graduated from B.Com and being very interested in acting and movies, joined Madhu Film Institute to get experience in acting.

But as we all know, acting experience alone is not enough to bag great roles in the movie industry. Through lot of dedication and hardwork, Srikanth achieved his first break with the movie, People's Encounter produced by Usha kiran movies under the direction of Mohan Gandhi. After that, he was able to bag villain roles in movies like Sitaratnam Gari Abbayi. The break from villain roles came through when Thammareddy Bharadwaja offered him a role as a hero in One By Two. The movie became a success and paved the way for Srikanth to secure more movie offers. He continued to act in all movies that came in his way for the next one year. One of these movies that is to be mentioned specially is Aame. He co-starred in this movie with Ooha, who is to be his wife in future. The first notable hit came to him in 1995 with TajMahal. With the box office hit Pelli Sandadi that released in 1996, Srikanth became known to one and all and did not have to look back again.

In coming years, Srikanth and Ooha married and now they have a son, Roshan and daughter, Medha. His career also took off, except for the occasional flops which no hero can really escape from. Over the years, Srikanth did not constrain himself to a particular image or particular genre of roles. He has proved that he can handle comedy roles as well as serious roles with equal ease.
