He is the grandson of the Late Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, who was a legendary actor and former chief minister or Andhra Pradesh.[1] He is fondly called as Tarak by his family, friends and close associates.

He went to Vidyaranya School in Hyderabad, and later to Vignan Jr college for first yr then later to St. Peter's Jr College. He has a sister and two brothers, kalyanram and Janaki Ram. His uncle Balakrishna Nandamuri is also famous actor.
Rao began his career as a child actor and dancer. His first step into Tollywood was with the movie "Bala Ramayanam", directed by Gunasekhar. He made his first film after he grew older, Ninnu Choodalani, in 2001, but it failed to perform well at the box office. He went on to gain fame with Student No. 1 (also released in 2001), directed by S.S. Rajamouli, followed by Subbu and Aadi. In January 2003, Rao's film Naaga performed poorly, even though it was produced by one of India's finest producers, A.M. Ratnam. However, in July 2003 Simhadri became the highest grossing film of the year in Tollywood, and made Rao and director Rajamouli household names.[2]
His first release of 2004, Andhrawala, did not do well at the box office,[3] though the next film, Samba, did better, and was at the top of the box office for fifty days.[3] In 2005 his two releases, Naa Alludu and Narasimhudu, both did either badly or averagely at the box office. In 2006, his film Ashok had a good opening,[4] but did not appease his fans.{cn|February 2007}}
His film Rakhi, which proved a success at the box office, has gained Rao good reviews.[5] The film was directed by Krishna Vamsi, and co-stars Ileana D'Cruz and Charmme Kaur. His latest film Yamadonga was released on August 15, 2007 and is the sensational movie of the year 2007.
