There are only a few actors who have featured in over 1000 movies. Working in such a large number of films is no less than an achievement. Today, we will discuss an actress who often played the role of a grandmother and even acted in more than 1000 films. She predominantly worked in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema.
While today's generation might not recognize her, people in their 40s knew who she was, and her performances always wooed the audience. If you are wondering who we are discussing, then this person is none other than the late legendary actress Nirmalamma. Who was Nirmalamma
Born on 18 July, 1920, in Machilipatnam, Madras Presidency, British India, Nirmalamma was well known for her grandmother roles in several films. She won two Nandi Awards. Her debut came in 1943 when she featured in Garuda Garvabhangam.
Over the course of her career, Nirmalamma worked with many A-list stars including NTR, ANR, Krishna, S. V. Ranga Rao, Rajendra Prasad, P. B. Srinivas, Chiranjeevi, Nandamuri Balakrishna, Venkatesh, Nagarjuna, and many more.
In this way, she established herself as an indispensable actress of the Telugu film industry by working in more than 1000 films. Nirmalamma Never Became a Mother
Despite tying the knot, Nirmalamma did not have any kids, and just to fulfill her wish of having a child, she adopted one. She adopted a baby girl and named her Kavitha.
When Kavitha got married, she had a son whose name is Vijay Madala. He acted in the movie Sandhyaragam. Vijayashanti was the lead actress, and the movie was a commercial success. However, Vijay Madala was raised in America, so his Telugu pronunciation was not perfect. Because of this, he did not do any more Telugu movies.

'Saiyaara' box office day 16: Mohit Suri's film shows strong Saturday surge and growing theatre buzz

Saiyaara continues its impressive box office run, with early estimates placing the day 16 (third Saturday) collection at ₹ 6.35 crore. This brings the total earnings to a formidable ₹ 291.35 crore, as the film edges closer to the ₹ 300 crore milestone. After earning ₹ 107.75 crore in its second week and ₹ 4.5 crore on its third Friday, Saiyaara witnessed a noticeable uptick on Saturday, reflecting growing weekend interest and positive word-of-mouth. Theatre occupancy also showed a strong trend across major cities. Nationally, Saiyaara recorded 34.38% occupancy in evening shows, up from 30.79% in the afternoon and 16.14% in the morning, indicating a steady climb throughout the day. City-wise, Bengaluru led the surge with 58.67% occupancy, followed by Chennai at 48.67%, and Pune at 35.33%. The National Capital Region (NCR) also held firm at 30.67%, while Mumbai stood at 24.33%. Other metros like Hyderabad (31.67%) and Jaipur (32.33%) contributed to the film's momentum. While some cities such as Surat (10%), Bhopal (19.67%), and Kolkata (19%) showed relatively modest numbers, the overall performance across urban centres suggests continued audience engagement. With Sunday yet to come and momentum building, Saiyaara is well on track to surpass ₹ 300 crore in the coming days. The strong Saturday performance has reinforced the film's commercial success, making it one of the top-grossing Hindi releases of the year. Saiyaara has also become the second Indian film of 2025 to cross the ₹ 400-crore mark globally, next only to Chhaava ( ₹ 808 crore). It is now eyeing entry into the prestigious ₹ 500 crore club, possibly by the end of the third weekend. Saiyaara is a romance-drama about Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a budding musician, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a shy writer. Through their relationship, the film explores love, loss, and drama.
