Early life[]

Career[]

In 2008, Jagarlamudi made his debut with Gamyam, starring Allari Naresh, Sharwanand, and Kamalinee Mukherjee. The film was produced by his father Jagarlamudi Saibaba along with his brother-in-law Bibo Srinivas, and his friend Rajeev Reddy who came forward after Jagarlamudi vainly tried to convince many notable Telugu film producers. The film went on to become a big hit at the box office,[7] and won several awards, including the Best Picture[8] and Best Director awards at the 2009 South Filmfare Award.[8] The film was remade in Tamil as Kadalana Summa illa, in Kannada as Savaari and in Bengali as Dui Prithibi.

Jagarlamudi's next film, Vedam (2010) is anthology starring Allu Arjun, Anushka Shetty and Manoj Manchu. It was well received by both critics and the audience, winning four major awards at the 58th Filmfare Awards South, with Jagarlamudi receiving his second Filmfare Award for Best Director.[9] Vedam was also the second film to win all the four major awards (Best Movie, Best Director for Jagarlamudi, Best Actor for Allu Arjun and Best Actress for Anushka Shetty), after Jeevana Jyothi in 1975 and had a good run at the box office as well.

Following the success of Vedam, Jagarlamudi was signed on to direct its Tamil remake, titled Vaanam, starring Silambarasan Rajendar, Bharath, and Anushka Shetty, reprising her role.[10] Like its original version, Vaanam too released to critical acclaim.[11] His next film is Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum (2012) starring Rana Daggubati and Nayantara. Jagarlamudi made his Hinid debut film with Gabbar Is Back (2015). It stars Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor and Shruti Haasan.

His WW II retro war directorial starring Varun Tej named Kanche, released on 22 October, on occasion of Dussera. It received positive reviews from critics and was successful at the box office.[12] Kanche was selected for the Indiwood Panorama Competition section at the 2nd edition of Indiwood Carnival 2016 in Hyderabad.[13] He next directed Nandamuri Balakrishna's 100th film, Gautamiputra Satakarni (2017), based on emperor Gautamiputra Satakarni. The film was commercially successful.[14]

Jagarlamudi, next started directing Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, then after with the personal request of Nandamuri Balakrishna, Jagarlamudi collaborated with Balakrishna once again for the NTR duology, based on the life of N. T. Rama Rao. Both the parts, NTR: Kathanayakudu and NTR: Mahanayakudu, were critical and commercial failures.[15]
