If a talented young director scores a hit, immediately he gets a phone call from Annapurna Studios.
Paid an advance amount and locked into a contractual obligation with the studio, they are then asked to prepare scripts that suit either Nag or Naga Chaitanya.
Once the script is prepared, Nag then entrusts the project to a producer.
The disadvantage of this process is that other producers are finding it difficult to work with new directors as they are committed to Annapurna Studios.
And producers preferred by Nag agree to produce his movies as they would get huge benefits from Annapurna Studios in terms of production costs.
The downside of course is that they can cast only Nag or his son. Thus, Nagarjuna is proving himself to be a smart project manager with good co-ordination skills.
This is how Konda Vijay Kumar of ‘Gunde Jaari Gallanthayyindhe’ fame got ‘Oka Laila Kosam’, how Sudhir Varma of Swami Ra Ra got Dohchay and how Chandu Mondeti of Karthikeya is now working with Naga Chaitanya now.
Similarly, Radhakrishna, BVSN Prasad and Nithiin (producer of Akhil’s debut movie) have been entrusted with projects by Nag.
Apparently, poor Sushant and Sumanth have no such privileges and have to fend for themselves.
