NTR & Srikrishna 

Krishnashtami reminds of lord Srikrishna and this reminds of the legend NT Rama Rao. May be there is no one earth who could be a Srkrishna like the N T Rama Rao. MaayaBazaar is one movie where he proved that he is the one and only man who can portray the character of Lord Srikrishna. The smile that he gives is unforgettable. So many other stars like Harnath, Shobanbabu have also donned the role of Krishna but they did not match the NTR stature. In some Srikrishna temples across Andhra it is the image of NTR that is shown as the god Krishna.

No conversation surrounding Telugu cinema’s legacy is complete if that doesn’t involve a discussion about Maaya Bazaar. NTR by then made it a habit to reserve his best for portrayals of godly figures.Being a fine balance of mythology and fiction, Maaya Bazaar ensured each of the iconic characters had an equal degree of significance. A multi-starrer in the truest sense with the presence of ANR, SVR, Savithri, Chaya Devi,Gummadi and Surya Kantham in the cast, NTR played a god here and we genuinely believed him to be so.
