Brahmaji's father used to work as a Tahsildar in [[Nellore]], [[J. V. Somayajulu]] a renowned stage actor, who was also a Deputy Collector, acted in the Telugu classic movie [[Sankarabharanam (1980 film)|Sankarabharanam]]. For his performance in the movie, his co-workers from the Revenue department felicitated [[J. V. Somayajulu]]. Being Tahsildar's son, Brahmaji got a chance to see [[J. V. Somayajulu]] closely in the felicitation ceremony. All his father's co-workers have lined up on the stage to take blessings from [[J. V. Somayajulu]].

Bramhaji was spellbound to respect [[J. V. Somayajulu]] has received acting in one movie.

Somayajulu]]. This incident has changed his life forever and after his Intermediate, he went to Madras to fulfill his acting dreams. For over three decades now, he has been acting in movies.
