Happy Birthday To Successful Filmmaker Nandini Reddy

In an industry, where it's very rare to find female technicians and directors, very few made it to the list of successful directors and even draw a a mark of their own. B V Nandini Reddy is one of those few and one of those very few who became successful scoring big hits and making films with stars. She entered into the industry and became an integral part of Director Krishna Vamsy's team. She worked for him until Anthahpuram and its Hindi version Shakthi starring Shahrukh Khan. 

Then she made her debut as a Director. Her first film Ala Modalaindi starring Nani and Nitya Menen was a rom-com. It was a genre that is less explored in Tollywood. Nandini made that film with a completely urbane touch and with a fresh narrative style that clicked well with the audience. She introduced Nithya Menen with that film. Ala. Modalaindi became a blockbuster.

Then she made Jabardasth with Siddharth and Samantha which is a remake of Bollywood film Band Baja Barat starring Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma. It became a failure at the box office. Then again she made Kalyana Vaibhogame with her original story starring Naga Shaurya and introducing Malavika Nair. It went on to become a successful film. 

Then she directed Oh Baby starring Samantha which is an official remake of the Korean film Miss Granny. She showed her ability and calibre to handle a foreign film making necessary changes and adapting to the local sensibilities without losing the core emotion. Oh, Baby became one of the biggest hits that year. She directed a segment titled Meera in Netflix's anthology Pitta Kathalu. Last tear she came up with Anni Manchi Sakunamule starring Santosh Sobhan and Malavika Nair along with ensemble cast. Though the film earned good word of mouth from the audience it was unable to score a box office success. 

CineJosh Wishing the talented director Nandini Reddy a very happy birthday and wish her a strong comeback.
