Career
In 2008, Krish made his debut with Gamyam, starring Allari Naresh, Sharwanand, and Kamalinee Mukherjee. The film was produced by his father Jagarlamudi Saibaba along with his brother-in-law Bibo Srinivas, and his friend Rajeev Reddy who came forward after Krish vainly tried to convince many notable Telugu film producers. The film went on to become a big hit at the box office,[1] and won several awards, including the Best Picture[2] and Best Director prizes at the 2009 South Filmfare Award.[2]
Krish's next film, Vedam, released theatrically in June 2010. The film, starring Allu Arjun, Manoj Manchu, and Anushka Shetty in the lead roles, was the first multistarrer film in Telugu after more than a decade. It was well received by both critics and audiences, winning four major awards at the 58th Filmfare Awards South, with Krish receiving his second Filmfare Award for Best Director.[3]
Vedam was also the second film to win all the four major awards (Best Movie, Best Director for Krish, Best Actor for Allu Arjun and Best Actress for Anushka Shetty), after Jeevana Jyothi in 1975 and had a good run at the box office as well.
Following the success of Vedam, Krish was signed to direct its Tamil remake, titled Vaanam, starring Silambarasan Rajendar, Bharath, and Anushka Shetty, reprising her role, in the main roles.[4] Like its original version, Vaanam too released to critical acclaim.[5] latest film Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum starring Rana Daggubati and Nayantara was successful at the box office.
Presently Krish is working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Production Gabbar, a remake of Tamil film "Ramanaa". It stars Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Shruti Haasan. He will then be directing a telugu, tamil bilingual "Shivam" with Mahesh Babu, Sonkashi Sinha and Nargis Fakhri, which will be the actresses' debut into south films.
