Career

I always wanted to be a part of the film industry. I went to Chennai on this mission in 1989. I worked for a film called Rowdyism, which was stalled after 10days of shooting. I then joined Ram Gopal Varma as a co director for Anaganaga Oka Roju. Later I started my profession as a writer for Krishna Vamsi's film Sindhuram and also worked with him for Murari, and also acted in films like Kshana Kshanam, Oka Raju Oka Rani. During the making of Murari I was in touch with Mahesh Babu and that lead to the film Bobby.^[1] Shoban was known for his able hand in scripting. He helped many directors during the script sessions of many super hit films.
