Nandamuri heroes of the first and second generation are always looked upon as soldiers who will uphold the pride of NTR and his lineage. Somehow, we always see bigger stars like Balakrishna and Jr NTR in a larger than life frame than what they are really are. Though many admire them, it is somewhat little uneasy to move freely with them. But there is Kalyan Ram, who is liked by the whole film industry.

Like there are stains on a Moon, there are some negative aspects in the case of legendary NTR too. None will be daring to talk about them in front of Balayya or Tarak, but Kalyan Ram is said to be a sportive person who just laughs heartily when someone makes a joke out of Sr NTR. That doesn't mean he has no respect towards elders, he literally treats NTR as God, like any other fan.

Another side is that, Kalyan Ram openly admits that he can't utter dialogues like his grandpa or dad Harikrishna, and cannot dance like Jr NTR. He insists his directors to not come up with ideas where he needs to match his other family members. Even on a couple of TV shows, Kalyan Ram admitted this. This side of other Nandamuri heroes is not known, but due to Kalyan Ram being an open book many film folks love to work with him always.
