His name means "eternal bliss". There are only a few comedians in our films who know how to perennially keep the audience in splits and Brahmanandam is that professional comedy actor who has grown by constantly reinventing the kind of characters he plays, and his wittiness and timing make him a nonpareil. The highest paid comedian, he does a new kind of comedy as opposed to the kind he was doing even till the last decade.

A major success factor for many romantic-comedies like Dhee, Ready, Krishna, and a stupendous attraction even in superstar flicks like Pokiri, Jalsa, Adhurs, and Dookudu to Race Gurram, he knows how to strike the chord in situational, or slapstick, or screwball, or deadpan comedy acts, with equal elan.

Some of the characters, like Ara Gundu in Aha Na Pellanta, Rama Chandra Moorti in Babai Hotel, Khan Dada in Money, Anandam in Jamba Lakadi Pamba, Chitragupta in Yamaleela, Writer in Shubhakankshalu, Lavangam in Manmathudu, Chary in Dhee, Brahmi in Pokiri, Bhattu in Adhurs, Padmashri in Dookudu, Kill Bill Pandey in Race Gurram are still refreshing. Even after 28 years and about 1025 films, the accomplished comedian can seem entertaining and multi-dimensional in varied roles.
