Lokesh: Lokesh managed to strike a chord with audiences through his natural performances that could connect audiences easily.He has performed brilliantly in movies like Bhaktha Siriyala, Parasangada Gendethimma, Ellindallo Bandavaru. He has also done many novel based movies.
Anant Nag: He is among the fabulous actors I have seen. From Sankalpa to KGF, he has retained the same charm even now. My favourite movies of Anant Nag are Undu Honda Kondu Hoda and Na Ninaa Bidalaare. His on-screen presence is just amazing.
K S Ashwath: He is known for emotional sequences. His role as Chamaya Meshtru, a servant in Kasthuri Nivasa and as senior family head in Sharapanjara, are a treat to watch. Ashwath is known to give life to whichever character he portrays.
Loknath: His performances in Minchina Oota and Bhootayyana Maga Ayyu are still remembered. Though he has done supporting roles for the most part of his career, he has still managed to make a mark. He had his own unique style of portraying characters.
Balakrishna, Doddanna: They are popular as comedians, supporting actors and as villains. The contributions of these actors will remain memorable forever.
