Rao Ramesh is an Indian actor and is the son of renowned Tollywood actor Rao Gopal Rao. He never wanted to become an actor. He wanted to become an acclaimed still photographer. But the destiny has other plans for him. He became a late bloomer in Telugu film industry. His character as reformed Naxalite in Gamyam film changed his future forever.

Rao Ramesh was born in Srikakulam and brought up in Chennai. He completed his B. Com in Chennai. He wanted to drop out of school in his +2. He got interested in still photography during that time and used to go to British library & American library to study books on photography. He used to be so much passionate about reading that he usually forget shaving his beard.

Rao joined KS Prakasa Rao (Son of K. Raghavendra Rao) as an assistant. But Rao was not provided with any petty work because of the respect Prakasa Rao carries towards his father. During that time cinematographer VSR Swamy encouraged and sent him to a friend of his at Bangalore. He learnt about industrial photography over there. They used Cinar cameras which costs around 16 lakhs each. He also applied for a course in live action and animation in The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, California. But his parents did not want Rao to pursue it.
