Plays at a young age
Akkineni Nageswara Rao didn’t study much, only up to the 4th grade. His family owned 5 acres of land, and they thought he would just become a farmer. His mother even saved the land for him. But at just 10 years old, ANR’s interest in theatre grew. Back then, women didn’t act on stage, so men played female roles. ANR became quite famous for playing women’s parts.
