Biography

Allu Ramalingaiah (October 1, 1922 – July 31, 2004) was an Indian comic actor and homoeopathic physician who worked predominantly in Telugu cinema. A participant in the Indian independence movement and a seasoned stage artist, he made his feature film debut in the social drama Puttillu (1952). Across the 1950s and 1960s, he established himself as a versatile comedic character actor in notable productions, including the romantic comedy Missamma (1955), the fantasy epic Mayabazar (1957), the drama Thodi Kodallu (1957), and the comedy Gundamma Katha (1962). During the 1970s and 1980s, Ramalingaiah appeared in hundreds of commercial features, gaining particular prominence in character roles such as Chitragupta in the fantasy comedy Yamagola (1977), the classical drama Sankarabharanam (1980), and the social drama Subhalekha (1982). His later credits spanned mainstream successes, including the fantasy drama Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari (1990), the action film Gang Leader (1991), and the Tamil romantic thriller Kaadhalan (1994). His final screen appearances included the action drama Indra (2002) and Kalyana Ramudu (2003). For his contributions to Indian cinema, he was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 1990 and received the Raghupathi Venkaiah Award in 2001.
