Commercial directors can easily make art films: Vinayak

V.V. Vinayak is one of the few directors in Telugu Film Industry who is expert in making commercial films with huge mass appeal.  It is known that he is the director of Megastar Chiranjeevi’s re-entry film ‘Khaidi No.150’, which turned out to be a blockbuster at the boxoffice. In a recent interivew he was asked to respond on the criticism on star heroes &  directors for doing routine films and completely ignoring art films.

He answered this question in his own style..  “Film making involves crores of investment and several people depend on the films for their livelihood. In such a scenario thre is no need to take risks by doing experiments. Nagababu produced Rudhraveena with Chiranjeevi, when Chiru was at the peak of his career. That movie turned out to be a commercial failure, no one came to the rescue of Nagababu after the failure.  Director Neelakanta acheived National Award with ‘Show’.  No one is encouraging him now”.

He asked not to compare our films with others and degrade ourselves. “It is easy to make art films & award winning films. Art film makers can not make commercial films whereas commercial film makers can easily make art films”.
