Personal life

Career
He was very interested in acting since childhood and acted in school plays. His first professional drama was Pending File, in which he played the role of Parandhamayya but, as he went on the stage, he forgot his lines completely. It was a memorable experience for him as a drama artiste.
He then went to Chennai to start his film career. He did a screen test for Kranti Kumar, where he was one among 300 people. He got an opportunity to act in that film but the producer's death halted the project.
After that he did Maharshi, for Sravanti Ravi Kishore, along with Raghava, Nishanti and Ram Jagan. It was directed by Vamsy.
He then appeared in April 1st Vidudala, which was directed by Vamsy. He has done the script work for few movies including Detective Narada.
His career as an actor languished until he performed the role of Babji in the television serial Vasantha Kokila, directed by Uppalapati Narayana Rao, which won him the Andhra Pradesh State Nandi Award. Afterward, he acted in the movies Avunu Valliddaru Ista Paddaru! and Kabaddi Kabaddi.
After becoming a popular comedian, Krishna Bhagavan got offers as solo lead and acted in John Appa Rao 40 Plus, Donga Sachinollu, Mr. Girisham, Andhra Andagadu, and Bommana Brothers Chandana Sisters.
