According to him, Jandhyala, EVV and S.V.Krishna Reddy were the best comedy directors he has ever worked with. He is presently writing a book based on his experiences in the film industry. His dialogue 'thakita thakita 2-4-6' is very much funny in his recent movie 'King'. He coined a new word "jafa" which he uses to scold others. His nee yankamma dialogue is also very popular.He is one of the best comedians Telugu cinema has ever produced and the main credit goes to director jandhyala

Awards
Acharya Nagarjuna University awarded Brahmanandam an honorary doctorate award.
He has been selected for 2005 year's Allu Award instituted in the memory of Allu Rama Lingaiah. On 1 October 2005, the award was presented to him at a function in Hyderabad. The award consists of a Swarna Kankanam (Translation: Gold bracelet), a citation and a souvenir.
He recently earned a spot in the Guinness World Records for acting in 754 Telugu films in 20 years.[1] It is because no actor in the whole world has ever performed the feat of acting in so many films in just 20 years, in just one language.
In January 2009, the Government of India bestowed the coveted title of Padmasri on Brahmanandam for his contributions to art.[2]
As on 1 May, he acted in about 840 Telugu movies, a record, which made him reach the Guinness Book of World Records!
Selected for Nandi Award for best male comedian for 2008 film, announced in 2009. This was for the film Ready.

In the media
