He doesn't shout and doesn't fight. Instead, he throws satires on other characters in a movie, in such a way, those actors had no words to speak and would become dumbstruck. Satires, fun, pun, ridicule are his weapons of him but not a muscular body.

Rao Ramesh, the son of late Rao Gopal Rao, was considered a normal and ordinary character artist till some time ago. Gradually, he seems have developed his own style of acting. He fits the bill for character roles, villain and a comedy villain.
