Star director VV Vinayak was to start Megastar Chiranjeevi’s 150th film last year. Nonetheless, when Chiru is delaying the project and Nagarjuna offered him to direct his son Akkineni Akhil’s launch pad film Akhil for which Veligonda Srinivas provided the story, the director with approval from megastar had taken up the Nithin’s production venture.
Vinayak was paid a good amount as remuneration for the film which ended as a disaster providing heavy losses to Nithin as well as distributors. When Vinayak was in a situation to give back Rs 5 crores from his pay, he reportedly sold his house for Rs 20 crores and paid the amount.
As per these reports, VV Vinayak is now residing at a star comedian’s house as a tenant. It is also heard that, VV Vinayak accepted to direct a new film with his Dil hero Nithin sometime next year after the director wrapping up Chiru’s 150th movie.
The reports also add that, Vinayak will be doing Nithin film at zero pay as payback of Akhil losses. Let’s hope, VV Vinayak will gain old glory with Chiru and Nithin projects.
