Krishna began his acting career on the stage in early 1960s, before making it big on the silver screen. He got his breakthrough as the lead actor with films like 'Thene Manasulu' and 'Sakshi'. He starred in spy films like 'Gudachari 116', 'Agent Gopi', 'Rahasya Gudachari' and 'Gudachari 117' which enthralled the audience who knew about such films only in Hollywood.

'Alluri Sitarama Raju' remains an iconic film in the Telugu film industry even to this day. It was the first cinemascope movie in Telugu. 'Simhasanam', also produced and directed by Krishna, was the first 70 mm stereophonic sound film in Tollywood.

Krishna's starred in a number of films with leading ladies of the 1980s, including Sridevi ('Gharana Donga', 'Bangaru Bhoomi' and 'Bangaru Koduku'), Jayaprada ('Allari Bava', 'Ragile Hrudayalu') and Vijaya Shanti.

He also acted in as many as 50 multi-starrer movies teaming up with several other leading actors, including N T Rama Rao and Sobhan Babu and also those junior to him like Ravi Teja.
