Career[]

Debut and recognition[]

Nutan Prasad started his acting career with the play Naa Votu in Guntur. He started acting in films with the movie Andala Ramudu starring Akkineni Nageshwara Rao in the year 1973. He continued his venture with movies like Needaleni Aadadi, but he was first recognized in the movie Muthyala Muggu when he acted as a villain along with Rao Gopal Rao.

His acting career reached its peak with the movie Rajadhi raju in which he acted as Satan. The movie became very popular due to his acting and the song "Kotta devudandi babu kotta devudandi", which is still popular today. Prasad, although he acted with all the generation of heroes, was particularly popular with the second generation heroes. Movies like Patnam Vachina Pativratalu, Khaidi (Village munsab), Magamaharaju, Srivariki Premalekha, Kathanayakudu, and Aha Naa Pellanta, all continued his winning streak.

Prasad was known for his catchphrases like "Assale desham klista paristhithilo undi" (transl. The country is in a crisis) and "Nootokka jillalaku andagadni" (transl. The handsome of 101 districts).[3] The latter was adapted as a title for the film Nootokka Jillala Andagadu (2021).[4]
