'''Vamsi Krishna''' is an Indian actor who predominantly works in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] and [[Tamil language|Tamil]] films. He made his debut in ''[[Gharshana]]'' (2004) and went on to play the antagonist in films including ''[[Thadaiyara Thaakka]]'' (2012) and ''[[Ivan Veramathiri]]'' (2013).

==Early life==

He was born in [[Visakhapatnam]], [[Andhra Pradesh]]. He hails from a family of doctors. Before working in films, he was pursuing a [[Bachelor of Business Management]] in [[London]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://chiloka.com/celebrity/vamsi-krishna|title =Vamsi Krishna}}</ref>

==Film career==

Vamsi Krishna met director [[Gautham Vasudev Menon]] on a flight trip from [[London]] to India, their conversations lead to them working together, thus began Vamsi Krishna's career as an actor.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/telugu/movies/news/i-was-a-bad-boy-in-college-vamsi-krishna/articleshow/17349204.cms|title =I was a bad boy in college: Vamsi Krishna}}</ref>

The director offered him a supporting role as a police officer in ''[[Gharshana]]'' (2004) and Krishna allotted 40 days to the project and subsequently decided to make a career in films.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://newindianexpress.com/entertainment/reviews/I%E2%80%99m-an-actor-because-of-Gautham-Menon/2013/08/17/article1737694.ece|title='I'm an actor because of Gautham Menon'|access-date=25 February 2019|archive-date=13 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160313013452/http://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/reviews/I%E2%80%99m-an-actor-because-of-Gautham-Menon/2013/08/17/article1737694.ece|url-status=dead}}</ref> He played the lead role in the 2006 Telugu film ''[[Oka `V` Chitram]]'' alongside [[Aadhi (actor)|Aadhi]].It failed at the box-office.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/entertainment/tollywood/151116/vizag-man-is-the-top-villain-in-tamil-cinema.html|title = Vizag man is the top villain in Tamil cinema Entertainment}}</ref> He subsequently played roles in films including ''[[Darling (2010 film)|Darling]]'' (2010), ''[[Nagavalli (film)|Nagavalli]]'' (2010), ''[[Nenu Naa Rakshasi]]'' (2011) and ''[[Attarintiki Daredi]]'' (2013).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/regional/telugu/news-interviews/I-was-a-bad-boy-in-college-Vamsi-Krishna/articleshow/17349204.cms |title=I was a bad boy in college: Vamsi Krishna|website=Times of India|access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130718140850/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-11-24/news-interviews/35333479_1_gautham-menon-negative-roles-bad-boy |archive-date=18 July 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Gautham seems to figure significantly in Vamsi’s film journey. For, strangely enough, it was Gautham’s assistant [[Magizh Thirumeni]] who gave him his Kollywood break with ''[[Thadaiyara Thaakka]]'' (2012). The role got him noticed and [[A. Sarkunam]] cast him as a village goon in the [[Dhanush]] starrer ''[[Naiyaandi]]'' (2013).<ref>{{Cite news |title='I'm an actor because of Gautham Menon'|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/review/2013/Aug/17/i%E2%80%99m-an-actor-because-of-gautham-menon-507672.html |access-date=2013-08-17 |work=The New Indian Express}}</ref> Vamsi Krishna donning the role of villain in [[Vikram Prabhu]]'s ''[[Ivan Veramathiri]]'' (2013) directed by [[M.
