He served as a director for the film ''[[Devathalara Deevinchandi]]'' (1977), the maiden production by artist [[Giri Babu]], and also for Babu's second picture, ''[[Simha Gharjana]]''. The film ''[[Tayaramma Bangarayya]]'' (1979), produced by [[Edida Nageswara Rao]] on the Poornodaya banner, was a hit. Later it was remade in the Tamil language with Sivaji Ganesan as Satyamsundaram. He also directed ''Koteeswarudu'', starring Akkineni Nageswara Rao; ''Cheyyethi Jai Kottu'', starring Krishnam Raju; ''Lakshmipooja''; and ''Mantradandam''.
