Rama Rao Jr.'s first leading role came opposite Raveena Rajput in "Ninnu Choodalani" (2001), a romantic drama directed by V. R.

Later that same year, he had similar roles in two coming-of-age romantic dramas, wherein he portrayed college-going students: "Student No. 1" and "Subbu", the former being his major break into Tollywood.  2002 marked a turning point in his career, with two low-budget films, "Aadi" and "Allari Ramudu", becoming box-office hits.  The former, an action drama, received highly positive reviews, with critics marking the improvement in his performance, while the latter, a melodrama, received mixed reviews, but did well at the box office.  "Aadi" also did well financially, becoming the third highest-grossing film of 2002.  He acted in two films in 2003, "Naaga", and "Simhadri".  While the former was a forgettable film, the latter became a huge blockbuster.  The success of "Simhadri" not only cemented his position in Tollywood, but also led to him selecting scripts with similar roles.  He followed this success by portraying leading roles in a series of critical and commercial failures, including "Andhrawala" (2004), "Samba" (2004), "Naa Alludu" (2005), "Narasimhudu" (2005), and "Ashok" (2006), leading critics to believe that his career was over.

The film received highly positive reviews from critics, with many terming it as his finest performance.  Subsequently, it was declared a hit at the box office.
