VV Vinayak's Birthday Wish; Wants To Direct Chiranjeevi Again

Telugu filmmaker VV Vinayak, who turns 38 today (October 9), says that if given an opportunity, he would love to direct Tollywood Megastar Chiranjeevi for the second time. The duo has previously worked in Telugu blockbuster Tagore, Telugu remake of Tamil blockbuster Ramanaa. It is one of the biggest hit movies in Vinayak's career.

Talking to IANS, VV Vinayak said, "I understand he (Chiranjeevi) is extremely busy with his political career. We don't even know if he would ever return to acting. But, if he plans to act again, and I get an opportunity to direct him, I would be extremely happy to do it." VV Vinayak will celebrate his birthday with family. He said, "I'll be visiting a temple in Basara. It's been a ritual I have been following for few years. On every birthday, I visit this place with my family."

Known for successful films such as Aadi, Dil and Krishna, Vinayak says he will soon make a film starring newcomers. "I have been busy making films with star actors all these years. Even though I enjoy doing them, but honestly I don't experiment with them because high stakes are involved. I would like to experiment, and therefore, I'll soon make a film with newcomers," he said.

Basking in the success of his recent release Yevadu, he is set to start working on his next film featuring debutant Sai. He said, "This film is expected to go on floors only next year. I haven't started working on the script yet, but I'm really looking forward to it." He added, "The film will go on floors Oct 20. Almost after eight months, I'll be working on this project. I spent quite a lot of time on getting the script right. Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been cast opposite Sai."
