One particular scene from Nuvvu Nenu, where Dharamavarapu Subramanyam translates Narayana’s speech from English to Telugu, remains comic gold. In films such as Nuvve Kavali and Nuvvu Nenu, the funniest scenes have the late Dharamavarapu Subramanyam complementing Narayana in a college setting. Post the tremendous success of the film, the comedian became synonymous with a college professor, the butt of the jokes the hero cracks. Known for playing nameless, trivial characters like the protagonist’s mama or the villain’s sidekick, Narayana struck gold when he was cast as a lecturer in Nuvve Kavali. Pattas, a film that he had a prominent and well-received role in, released that day too. He has over 750 acting credits to his name.īeginning with EVV Satyanarayana’s Maa Naannaku Pelli in 1997 (for which he won the state government’s Nandi Award), his fame kept soaring until his untimely death on January 23, 2015. Unlike Brahmanandam, whose breakthrough debut Aha Naa Pellanta bestowed him instant fame in 1987, Narayana’s popularity burgeoned hand-in-hand with this generation. His birth as a comedian coincided with the beginning of generation Z, which is arguably his biggest fanbase. Narayana’s career took off in the late 90’s - 1997 to be precise. When MS Narayana breathed his last in 2015, it was more than a piece of breaking news for a generation that grew up laughing at the late comedian’s antics. While the loss of life is always tragic, the sorrow only deepens when we lose a person who forged an identity making people laugh. Contrarily, the artiste holds a unique place in our lives, oftentimes associated with personal memories. We exist as one among the millions of their fans, not not as an individual being. We may have never met an artiste in person. This is true in the sense of an artiste’s death too, and all of us have experienced this at one point or the other. In BV Nandini Reddy’s Oh Baby! there is a beautiful line pertaining to the passing of the elderly that goes - “When they die, they take away a part of our childhood”.
