Ali is a popular South Indian actor who has acted in more than 790 films in Bollywood and the Tamil and Telegu film industries.

Early life and career

Ali was born in a poor family in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, India. His father was a tailor and his mother was a house wife. Ali developed a passion for acting since childhood. When he heard that renown director Bhagyaraja was looking for new child artists to act in his movie Seethakoka Chiluka, Ali went to Chennai and attended the screening at Bhagyaraja's office. Bhagyaraja was pleased with Ali's performance and gave him his first film role.

As a child artist, Ali had acted in a variety of movies but as he grew older, he was no longer suitable for child roles and roles stopped coming his way. But he held on to the film industry Chennai and waited for a breakthrough role.
This made him more focused on his career and thus, Ali started his second innings in Tollywood, as a comedian.

It was director S. V. Krishna Reddy who had given him the much needed break with comic roles in his movies. Even though no suitable roles were present , S. V. Krishna Reddy used to create new roles for Ali. Mr.Reddy suggested Ali to have his own style of dialogue delivery.Ali developed his own style and in this way a new comedy modulation was born which created waves in the cinema industry, which was popularly known as Chaata'. This was developed with Alis own way of pronunciation. This became an instant hit and opportunities started flooding Ali.

Ali later had a string of huge success for a couple of years as a comedian hero which only a few like Rajendra Prasad, Mohan Babu and Chandra Mohan had achieved turning him into a common face in the late 90's, which was a revelation. He had block busters with his mentor and director S. V. Krishna Reddy which were made on a low budget, which made him achieve new heights which no other comedian could.
