Chandramohan joined the Telugu film industry with the film Rangula Ratnam in 1966. He also won the Nandi Award for his role in the movie. He went on to act in more than 900 plus films in a career spanning more than 55 years. Starting from side roles, Chandramohan went on to become a hero slotted more towards the comedy side.

He went on to win the Nandi Award for Best Comedian in 1987 for the film Chandmama Rave and Nandi Award for Best Character Artist in 2005  for Kalyan Ram's Athanokkade.

He has acted with all the top heroes starting from the late NT Rama Rao, A Nageshwara Rao, Krishna, Shobhan Babu and Chiranjeevi, Rajendra Prasad, Nagarjuna and Venkatesh. The actor who also happens to be veteran director and Dada Saheb Phalke Award winner K Viswanath's cousin, moved on to act in several Telugu serials and small roles in movies and kept himself busy in the entertainment industry.

In February 2015  he suffered mild congestion in the lungs and was hospitalised for a brief period and was later discharged. Similar rumours were spread that he suffered a heart attack, but his nephew clarified that it was mild congestion because of phlegm and that he was absolutely fine, while dismissing those fake reports.
