Jayakrishna Ghattamaneni, the grandson of legendary Telugu actor Krishna and nephew of superstar Mahesh Babu, has shared the name of the actor who inspires him the most outside his own illustrious family and it’s Ram Charan.

The young actor, who is gearing up for his silver screen debut with Srinivasa Mangapuram, said he has always admired the Mega Power Star for his commitment to acting and unwavering dedication to every role.

Speaking about his admiration, Jayakrishna said, “Outside the Ghattamaneni family, I love Ram Charan garu.” He added that one of the toughest challenges in the film industry is sustaining a successful career over many years, something he believes Ram Charan has achieved through hard work and consistency.
