Veteran director VV Vinayak has no takers now. Despite having a Rs. 100 crore film Khaidi No. 150 to his credit, Vinayak is not getting any offers post Intelligent.
Disastrous films like Akhil and Intelligent left the once star director empty handed and he is looking into other areas to keep himself busy.
Vinayak is turning full time actor with a movie produced by Dil Raju.
The Tagore director will play the lead role in it. Dil Raju has heard a script that requires a middle aged actor for the lead role.
Dil Raju is convinced that Vinayak fits the bill and approached him. Vinayak, who has no films on hand has agreed to do it.
Vinayak has hit the gym and lost many kilos already. The film will start rolling once Vinayak is into perfect shape.
He appeared in cameo appearances in movies like Tagore and Khaidi No. 150 before, but this is a kind of surprise move from him.
Let's see whether Vinayak too gets busy as an actor like many directors who took up acting as full-time career after they had gone past their prime.
