Venu Udugula, a burgeoning filmmaker, first stepped into the director's chair with the 2018 release Needi Naadi oke Katha, featuring Sree Vishnu in the lead.
Born on July 20th, 1982, in the quaint village of Upparapalle, nestled within Chennaraopet Mandal, Warangal District, Telangana State, Venu Udugula hails from a rich literary heritage, being one of the prominent poets in the Telugu language.
During his academic tenure at Kakatiya University, Venu's innate affinity for the arts, nurtured since childhood, led him to join the esteemed Hyderabad film club, where he immersed himself in the world of cinema. This exposure to global filmmaking, particularly the works of visionary directors Andrei Tarkovsky and Krzysztof Kieslowski, as well as the cinematic masterpieces of Iran, profoundly influenced his artistic vision, imbuing his creative process with a newfound sense of independence.
As a result, Venu's narrative style became characterized by simplicity and evocative visuals, reflecting his unique perspective and artistic inclinations.
