In 2009, he also contested in Andhra Pradesh state [[Legislative Assembly elections in India|legislative assembly elections]] from [[Chilakaluripet]] constituency but lost the elections.

==Early life and education==
Posani was born on 22 January 1958 in [[Pedakakani]], [[Guntur]], Andhra Pradesh. His father Posani Subba Rao worked as a small-time employee in [[Pedakakani]] and his mother was a housewife. He has an elder sister Rajyalakshmi and a younger sister Prameela. He also has a younger brother Posani Amar Bhosale. He is the cousin of [[Boyapati Srinu]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Boyapati Srinu Biography|url=https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/boyapati-srinu/biography.html|url-status=live|access-date=8 June 2021|website=FilmiBeat|language=en}}</ref> Growing up, Posani's family struggled financially and his father was not educated and wanted Posani to study well so that he could have a better life. Posani did his schooling in a small village in Guntur district and went on to do his [[Bachelor of Commerce|BComm]]. He joined [[Acharya Nagarjuna University]] in [[Guntur]] and graduated with an [[Master of Arts|MA]] degree. During his time in Nagarjuna University, he was elected as the general secretary for the student body. After completing his master's degree, he worked in a small chit fund company in Hyderabad. He was offered a job in [[Ramoji Group#Margadarsi Chit Fund|Margadarsi Chit Fund]]. After a year of working there, he resigned his job and went back to Guntur. Posani, saddened and distressed after his father's untimely death, went to Chennai to find work. With no friends in Chennai, Posani met [[Paruchuri Gopala Krishna]] at his home and asked him for work. Gopal Krishna gave him an opportunity to work as an assistant under him. Posani later joined [[Presidency College, Chennai|Presidency College]] and graduated with a [[Master of Philosophy|MPhil]] degree, which was his second master's degree. He wanted to obtain a PhD degree. Although he joined a college to do so, he later discontinued his studies because of his work.

==Career==

===Assistant writer and early work (1992–1998)===
He joined as an assistant writer under the writing duo [[Paruchuri Brothers]]. While he was still working under them and pursuing his MPhil degree in Madras, [[Ram Gopal Varma]] asked him to write dialogues for one of his films. Posani declined the offer and told Ram Gopal Varma that he still had a lot to learn from the Paruchuri Brothers and he wasn't ready to take up a film on his own. Posani worked for five years under the Paruchuri Brothers assisting them in over 100 films. In 1992, he finally quit as assistant writer to further his career. He played a small cameo role in the 1992 Telugu film ''[[Dharma Kshetram]]''. He landed a job of writing story and dialogues for the film ''Police Brothers'' under the direction of Mohan Gandhi. Also Ram Gopal Varma gave him an opportunity to write dialogues for his 1993 film ''[[Gaayam]]''. Varma also recommended Posani to [[Nagarjuna (actor)|Nagarjuna]], which led him to write for the film ''[[Rakshana]]''. He was also given a breakthrough opportunity to write for [[Chiranjeevi]]'s ''[[Alluda Majaka]]'' directed by [[E. V. V. Satyanarayana]]. He wrote the story, dialogues and screenplay for the film.

Sriram]], [[M. S.

Post Sravaanamasam, he acted in films such as ''[[Athadu]]'', ''Game'' and ''[[Munna (2007 film)|Munna]]''. In 2006, he began working on his next directorial venture.

The film was a political satire and was titled ''[[Operation Duryodhana (film)|Operation Duryodhana]]'' and was released in 2007. The film was successful at the box office earning nearly ten times its budget. Posani's direction was also praised by the critics.
