Eedara Veera Venkata Satyanarayana (born 10 June 1956 – 21 January 2011) was an Indian film director, screenwriter and producer.[1] He directed a total of 51 films in Telugu films and introduced many actors to Telugu cinema. He was well known for making comedy and melodrama films. In 2000, he established his own production company, E. V. V. Cinema. He died in 2011.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Early life[edit | edit source]

Satyanarayana was born on 10 June 1956 in Korumamidi village of West Godavari district in present-day Andhra Pradesh, India.[2] His parents were Venkat Rao and Venkata Ratnam.

Film career[edit | edit source]

E. V. V. faced many hardships during his early days in Chennai. His passion for films, relentless approach, persistence, and determination to make it big in the industry attracted the attention of noted producer Navatha Krishnam Raju, with whose help he joined Devadas Kanakala as an assistant director for the film O Inti Bhagavatam. Later, he worked under director Jandhyala for about 8 years and made 22 films like Nalugu Stambhalata (1982), Rendu Jella Seetha (1983), Nelavanka (1983), Rendu Rella Aaru (1985), Aha Naa Pellanta (1987) and Hai Hai Nayaka (1989). He also worked as co-director for the movie Indrudu Chandrudu.

Satyanarayana's directorial debut, Chevilo Puvvu, was a major flop. He was so depressed that he contemplated leaving the film industry.[3] His destiny changed when producer D. Ramanaidu gave him a chance to direct Prema Khaidi, which screened successfully in all centers. He followed the path of his teacher, Jandhyala, and made successful comedy movies. His first movie in the comedy genre was Appula Appa Rao, followed by Aa Okkati Adakku and Jamba Lakidi Pamba. He also directed family sentiment films, most prominent among them the 1994 super hit film Aame, starring Srikanth and Ooha. He also directed movies like Hello Brother, Alluda Majaka, Intlo Illalu Vantintlo Priyuralu, Goppinti Alludu, and Varasudu, and the Hindi movie Sooryavansham, which starred Amitabh Bachchan and Soundarya.[4] He also directed critically acclaimed movies like Thaali, Kanyadanam and Ammo! Okato Tareekhu.[citation needed]

Death[edit | edit source]

E. V. V. Satyanarayana died on 21 January 2011, following multiple complications from chemotherapy for throat cancer, which led to sepsis and cardiac arrest.[5]

Awards[edit | edit source]

Satyanarayana was presented a Nandi Award in 1994 for the film Aame.[6]
