Directing a comedy is no joke and very few people have managed to create a niche for themselves in this genre.
First and foremost is ‘Hasya Brahma’ Jandhyala followed by his disciple EVV Satyanarayana.
While Jandhyala was known for his clean comedies, EVV appealed more to the masses with a touch of vulgarity in his dialogues and themes. In fact, no producer ever lost money on EVV movies.
In fact, EVV only lost money when he produced his own movies to promote the careers of his sons.
After the death of EVV, there is a void in Tollywood that has not been filled by anyone.
Director Satti Babu followed in EVV’s footsteps but hasn’t had the same kind of success. And the same is the case with directors Nageswar Reddy (Seema Sastry and Denikaina Ready fame) and Srinivas Reddy .
It is now the trend for villains and character artistes to do the comedy themselves. Wonder who the best comedy director after EVV will be?
