With the film Aadi, which starred the young tiger NTR, VV Vinayak made his directing debut. The action movie with a background featuring the Rayalaseema faction caused a sensation at the box office. In NTR's career, it became a highly successful blockbuster. But how did Aadi come to be? Here is what Vinayak said.

"I first wrote NTR a love story. The movie was ritualistic Despite the fact that NTR liked the script, his close friend Kodali Nani urged him not to make a love story at that time. When I learned about it, I quickly wrote a script in just two days for Aadi and pitched it to NTR. He was very pleased with it, so the project started the shoot.

Vinayak, NTR, and Kodali Nani then collaborated later Adhurs. Kodali Nani produced this film and it was a box office success too.
