Nandi Special; Then Venky now Mahesh

Victory Venkatesh is the only hero of his generation, who bagged most number of Nandi best actor awards. He won a total of five Nandis for his performances in the movies such as 'Prema', 'Dharmachakram', 'Ganesh',  'Kalisundaam Raa..' and 'Aadavari Maatalaku Ardhale Veruley'. His contemporary heroes like Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna and Balakrishna could not surpass him in bagging most number of Nandi awards. 

Among the present generation heroes, Mahesh Babu is the only hero to have bagged three Nandi awards for the movies such as, 'Nijam', 'Athadu' and 'Dookudu'. Interestingly, both these best actors are acting together in a multi starrer movie 'Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' which is slated for release on 21st December. Hope, the duo gives the best output through their performances.
