Tatineni Satya

Biography:

Tatineni Satya is an Indian director who has produced films in Tamil and Telugu.

Satya is the son of filmmaker T. L. V. Prasad, who rose to fame for directing numerous movies starring Mithun Chakraborty in a short period of time, and the grandson of film director T. Prakash Rao, who worked in the Telugu cinema business from the 1940s through the 1980s. Satya finished his education in Chennai and received a visual communications degree from Loyola College, Chennai. Later, he joined David Dhawan as an assistant for Jodi No. 1 (2001), and they collaborated on eight more movies together.

Satya then worked as an assistant for a Tamil film, Kanda Naal Mudhal (2005) in the direction of Priya, before starting to prepare his own scripts.[1] He first contacted producer R. B. Choudary to finance his scripts, but the producer wanted him to narrate scripts for his son Jiiva.

Satya’s script was about a psychotic character, and having seen Jiiva play similar psychotic characters in Raam (2005) and Katrathu Thamizh (2007), he was not keen to stereotype Jiiva in such roles. Despite the refusal, Choudary offered him the chance to begin his career instead by making Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu (2010), a remake of the successful Tamil film, Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu (2009). Satya subsequently moved to Hyderabad and started auditioning for new actors and doing demo shoots for the characters in the movie. The shooting of the movie was started in the month of August 2009 and finished by January 2010, taking around 54 working days. The film, starring Nani and Saranya Mohan, garnered critical and commercial acclaim
