Supreme Star Sai Dharamtej turned careful after back to back debacles like Thikka and Winner. The actor wrapped up the shoot of Jawaan recently which has been announced for November release. He signed his next film in the direction of VV Vinayak which has been launched recently.

The regular shoot of the film will start from September and Lavanya Tripathi will play the female lead. C Kalyan is the producer and this untitled film will hit the screens during early next year. Tej also signed a romantic entertainer in the direction of Karunakaran and the film will be launched officially tomorrow.

He will start shooting for the film from November and the other cast, crew are being finalized currently. Karunakaran made sure that he will not repeat his mistakes with his recent outings.

Star director VV Vinayak is said to be planning to turn a producer.

After launching newcomers with ‘Alludu Seenu’ and ‘Akhil’, Vinayak’s ability as a director was questioned by everyone as both the films were failures. Akhil was declared the biggest disaster of the last year.

However, megastar Chiranjeevi has shown his confidence in Vinayak and gave him the biggest responsibility of helming his 150th film.

As per sources, Vinayak has now decided to turn a producer after Chiru’s film. He seems to be inspired by star directors like Sukumar and Puri Jagannath, who are already producing films. Vinayak will be producing low budget movies and encouraging newcomers.

Meanwhile, he is busy giving finishing touches to the script for Chiranjeevi’s film. The film will be launched soon.

Top director VV Vinayak, who has dealt back to back pressure situations while launching the sons of producer Bellamkonda Suresh and Nagarjuna Akkineni, is heard to be taking up two months vacation to rejuvenate himself.

As both ‘Alludu Seenu’ and ‘Akhil’ turned out to be disappointments, Vinayak is in serious need of new energy to save his career. The star director still has a good name and is the strong contender to helm Megastar Chiranjeevi’s landmark comeback film.

Last week, Vinayak met Chiranjeevi and it is said that they decided to try a full-fledged entertainer rather than a serious subject like ‘Kaththi’ starring Vijay. So Vinayak will start working on the script after the two months vacation.

As far as ‘Akhil – The Power of Jua’ is concerned, and distributors are looking at around 50% losses.

Currently speaking Tollywood top directors are V.V.Vinyak, S.S.Rajamouli, Puri Jagannadh and Trivikram Srinivas. Each director among these has earned good image through their films. Among these directors, V.V.Vinayak has recently made a rear record by directing all top four heroes of Tollywood. Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Venkatesh and now Nagarjuna, all have acted under this mass director’s direction.

At the beginning of his career, he directed Balakrishna in “Chennakesava Reddy.” This film became a huge hit and brought Balakrishna closer to the masses. In 2003, it was the turn of Mega Star Chiranjeevi. “Tagore” was directed by Vinayak and Chiranjeevi was the lead hero in this film. This film stood as a milestone in Chiru’s career. Later on, he directed “Lakshmi” in 2006 starring Venkatesh and Nayanthara as the lead pair. This film too did well and marked another hit in Vinayak’s account.

After directing such big heroes of Telugu Cinema, Vinayak was left with “King” Nagarjuna. Though few stories were narrated to Nag, it didn’t work out well to both of them. Believing in his storytelling and direction, Nagarjuna offered a film to Vinayak. It wasn’t his film, rather his son Akhil’s launching movie.

Taking the responsibility seriously, Vinayak directed “Akhil” in his usual manner and satisfied Nagarjuna. At the time of shooting of “Akhil,” Vinayak planned of casting in Nagarjuna in a special role. He said the same to Nagarjuna, who gave a nod and did a scene for “Akhil.”

By so, he also directed Nagarjuna and earned a rare record of directing Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Venkatesh and Balakrishna.
