Krishna planned to create Padmalaya Studio in Mangalagiri, andhra pradesh, in 1973, however the andhra pradesh government was uninterested and the project was shelved. He later constructed it in Hyderabad. krishna is from Burripalem, andhra pradesh, and now Mahesh has a unique connection to the area because he has adopted it and is helping to its development. On a related issue, it has been stated that Krishna's memorial service will be place in Burripalem soon. Related arrangements are being made, and more information will be released in due course.
Krishna, on the other hand, is a multi-hyphenate (actor, producer, director). He carved out a niche for himself at a time when NT Rama Rao and akkineni nageswara rao ruled telugu film from every angle. He refers to himself as a single-take artist and has temper tantrums at the least difficulty. But it's his inability to follow the on-screen director's directions that really makes his presence a hoot.
