  • Personal Life

    Aditya Pudipeddi, known as Aadi is a native of Vijayanagaram, Andhra Pradesh.

Being an ardent fan of Chiranjeevi, Aadi convinced his father to give a chance to perform ‘Kodithe Kotali ra’ song from Tagore movie in front his favorite actor (Chief guest of the event) and got instant applause from the Megastar.

And thus Aadi’s first film, Prema Kavali went on floors directed by Vijaya Bhaskar under RR Movie Makers banner. The movie was a good hit then. His second film was ‘Lovely’ under the direction of B.Jaya. The movie was also a decent hit. And all the critics acknowledged his improvement in all the departments. It is often difficult for a successor in Tollywood to meet the expectations set. But Aadi did not disappoint solely because of his dedication and hard work.
