Be it a role of under played or arrogant villain or comedy or any kind of character,Kota justified all of them with his own sizzling dialogue delivery like a cake walk since he could have come from the drama field.He started his cine career in 1978 by acting in Pranam Khareedu,a Telugu film.He had been honored with Padmasri in 2015.Also served as an M.L.A. during 1999-2004.
