I have worked in production and have produced many films. I have also directed films, some of which have even won National Awards.

That\u2019s how I became familiar with the Telugu language. Back then, I used to watch NTR\u2019s films at their house. I always had a desire to make a film in Telugu. On top of that, I have known Sai Ram Shankar for a long time. We are very good friends. One day, I shared this story with him, and that\u2019s how this journey began.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_551653\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-551653\" style=\"width: 1070px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-551653\" src=\"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oka-Pathakam-Prakaram-Producer-Director-Vnod-Kumar-Vijayan-3.jpeg\" alt=\"Oka Pathakam Prakaram Producer Director Vnod Kumar Vijayan\" width=\"1070\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oka-Pathakam-Prakaram-Producer-Director-Vnod-Kumar-Vijayan-3.jpeg 1070w, https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oka-Pathakam-Prakaram-Producer-Director-Vnod-Kumar-Vijayan-3-201x300.jpeg 201w, https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oka-Pathakam-Prakaram-Producer-Director-Vnod-Kumar-Vijayan-3-768x1148.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oka-Pathakam-Prakaram-Producer-Director-Vnod-Kumar-Vijayan-3-1027x1536.jpeg 1027w, https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oka-Pathakam-Prakaram-Producer-Director-Vnod-Kumar-Vijayan-3-696x1041.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oka-Pathakam-Prakaram-Producer-Director-Vnod-Kumar-Vijayan-3-1068x1597.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Oka-Pathakam-Prakaram-Producer-Director-Vnod-Kumar-Vijayan-3-281x420.jpeg 281w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1070px) 100vw, 1070px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-551653\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oka Pathakam Prakaram Producer Director Vnod Kumar Vijayan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What kind of film is \u201cOka Pathakam Prakaram\u201d?
