Fusing a strong social message along with a commercial film backdrop is not an easy task. Balancing two contrasting aspects actually increases the reach of Cinema to elite as well as the common audience. In fact, it takes lot of guts for the filmmaker to send a strong message without being excessively preachy about it. The young director Vamsi Paidipally could make this happen which has put him into the list of top commercial directors in Telugu Cinema right now.

Having a fun beginning with Prabhas starrer Munna back in the year 2007, Vamsi has made a mark with debut film itself as a director with an interesting take on action-oriented scenes. His definition of heroism was quite unique where the male lead has his own ways of displaying style and persona. He then ventured into Brundavanam- an out and out family action entertainer bringing a memorable hit for Young Tiger Tarak. The way he conceived scenes involving family sentiments was greatly appreciated by the audience.

However, his Face Off inspired action drama Yevadu fetched him good accolades. Though the basic storyline is inspired by the Hollywood flick, the way Vamsi Paidipally took over the film is commendable. He started becoming adept in showcasing heroism in a different light altogether. Nagarjuna-Karthi starrer Oopiri was again a different flick which dealt with greater realities of life.

His recent flick Maharshi starring Mahesh Babu also brought much appreciation for dealing with a sensitive topic of farming. A lot of people started getting inspired to get into agriculture after watching the movie- which itself shows the prowess of the director.

Telugu360 wishes Vamsi Paidipally very happy birthday and a creative year ahead!
