Srikanth started his film career as a villain, and later turned a character artiste and hero. He earned a place in the hearts of Telugu audiences with his impeccable style and performance. He earned a separate identity of his own and a special image.

He turned a hero with 'Taj Mahal'. His films like 'Pelli Sandadi, Aahwanam and Vinodam' remained blockbusters which proved him as a successful hero. Later, he earned a name as a good performer with his roles in 'Khadgam, Shankar Dada MBBS and Adi Lakshmi'.

Now he had decided to do some other different characters which are novel. As part of the plan, he accepted the role in 'Operation Duryodhana'. Unlike any other artiste, who doesn't want to shed his image, Srikanth tonsured his head for the character in 'Operation Duryodhana' and lived in the character.

The film is all set for release soon. Presently, he is doing the role of 'ATM' again in 'Shankar Dada Zindabad', the sequel of 'Shankar Dada MBBS' which is the remake of a successful Bollywood film, 'Lage Raho Munnabhai.'

He had also agreed to do a film 'Yamagola Mallee Modalayindi' in which he is portraying the role of Yamadharma Raju, which is presently on sets. Meera Jasmine is going to pair up with Srikanth in this movie.
