Samarla Venkata Ranga Rao (1918-74) Telugu actor born in Nuzvid, AP. Educated in Madras, in Visakhapatnam and Kakinada. Acted in plays staged by the Kakinada Young Men’s Happy Club, often along with Anjali Devi (e.g. Nalgo Pelli, Lobhi, Veedhi Gayakalu). Was a fire inspector until he broke through in the role of Pravarakhya in Varudhini. After Shavukaru, where he played the villain, he regularly acted in Vijaya Studio productions, whose bilinguals introduced him to the Tamil film industry (Patala Bhairavi, which featured one of his best known roles as a sorcerer). Known for emotion-charged roles like Keechaka in Nartanasala and Koliah, the criminal who undergoes a spiritual transformation in Bangaru Papa.
