Expressing his contentment for completing 50 years as an actor, Sai Kumar said, \u201cI first should thank my parents for all their encouragement, then my first mentor Sri Kakarala, under whose guidance I performed my first play Mayasabha Duryodhana. The legend SV Ranga Rao also came for the event and blessed me which was a big gift for me. My voice is my dad\u2019s gift, while there\u2019s a huge influence of my mother on my cultural behavior. I have been continuing to act in movies for 50 years with the support and love of my fans and with the blessings of God.<\/p>\n
I also need to thank Karnataka. Police Story is a big turning point in my career. I\u2019m fortunate to do movies in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. I\u2019m doing various projects in cinema, TV, web. As an artist, I\u2019m doing 15 different projects, right now. I also thank my famous star Shivaji Ganesan who inspired me and JV Ramana Murthy who also trained me as an actor. My special thanks to my family, my fans, my personal staff, and each and every one of this glorious film industry. Gurubhyo Namaha.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
