In 1977, she starred in Adavi Ramudu, which broke box office records and which permanently cemented her star status. The song ?Aaresukoboyi Paresukunnanu? picturized on her and co-star N.T. Rama Rao became a mass hit. In 1979, she acted in Ninaithale Inikkum opposite Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth in which she played a terminally-ill patient. She continued to act in more films in Telugu opposite major actors like NTR, ANR, Krishna, Krishnam Raju and Sobhan Babu throughout the 70s and 80s. K. Viswanath remade Siri Siri Muvva (1976) in Hindi as Sargam introducing Jayaprada to Bollywood in 1979. The film became a huge hit and she became an overnight star there as well. She earned her first Filmfare nomination as Best Actress but couldn?t capitalize on her success since she couldn?t speak Hindi.

1980s:
In 1981, she starred in the critically acclaimed 47 Natkal in which Chiranjeevi played negative shaded protagonist. Director K. Vishwanath relaunched her again in Hindi films, with the hit film Kaamchor where she spoke Hindi fluently for the first time. Saagara Sangamam released in 1983 proved to be a milestone in her career, Starring Kamal Hassan, the film won her lot of accolades including Filmfare Award for Best Actress ? Telugu. Jaya Prada made a successful team, not just with Amitabh Bachchan and Jeetendra, but also with her immediate screen rival Sridevi, with whom she has acted in about a dozen films. Their hit Telugu film Devata (1982) where they played sisters who made big sacrifices for each other, was remade into the hit Hindi film Tohfaa (1984). These films endeared Jaya Prada to the traditional conservative section of film goers and she amassed a huge female fan following as well. Although, she has acted in Bengali films, she has never worked for Ray. As she became involved in her political career since 1994, at the age of 32, her involvement with films reduced.

In 2002, she stepped into the Marathi film industry by being a guest in the movie Aadhaar. Thus far, she acted in eight languages and has completed 300 films during a 30-year film career. She started playing mature roles in 2004. She also owns the Jaya Prada Theater in Chennai. In 2011, she returned to Malayalam screens with a strong role in Pranayam, alongside Mohanlal and Anupam Kher. She essayed the role of ?Grace? in this film which won her critical acclaim and several awards. Her Kannada film Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna (Sangolli Rayanna) which sees her donning the historical role of Kittur Chennamma is slated for release in the later half of 2012.

Political career:
The suave and soft-spoken Jayaprada had joined the TDP in 1994 on the invitation of TDP founder N T Rama Rao, on the eve of the assembly elections then. And she rose quickly in the ranks. At that time itself, there was speculation that she would contest the polls but she preferred not to make her electoral debut although she was offered a seat by NTR. She campaigned in several constituencies in 1994. When NTR became the Chief minister in 1994, he appointed one of his sons-in-law Nara Chandrababu Naidu as the Revenue Minister. Soon after the formation of the government, NTR?s health started deteriorating, and in response to the growing influence of his wife, Lakshmi Parvati, on the political decisions of NTR, Chandrababu Naidu convinced a majority of the TDP MLAs to elect him as the chief minister. Since most of the legislators had gone over to his side, the Anti Defection Law did not apply and the Telugu Desam Party label passed on to the Chandrababu Naidu faction. During this period, Jayaprada too joined the Chandrababu Naidu faction of the party. She was nominated to the Rajya Sabha representing Andhra Pradesh in 1996. She also held the post of Telugu Mahila President.

Jaya Prada and Amar Singh

Following differences with party Supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu, she left TDP to join Samajwadi Party and contested from Rampur parliamentary Constituency in UP during the last General election in 2004 and got elected with a margin of more than 85000 votes. During her campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in 2009, she was issued a notice by the Election Commission for violating the code of conduct by distributing bindis to women in Rampur?s Swar locality. On 11 May 2009, Jaya Prada alleged that senior Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan was distributing nude pictures of her. She was re-elected with a margin of more than 30,000 votes. After she came out in open support of the former General Secretary of Samajwadi Party, Amar Singh, Jayaprada was expelled from the party on February 2, 2010 citing reasons such as indulging in activities inimical to its political interests and damaging its image. Jayaprada was accused by Samajwadi party members for infiltration into the party of capitalist and communal forces, which threatened to derail it from its Samajwadi moorings and damage its secular character.
