Some directors are like rare comets, you barely see them, but when they appear, everyone stops and stares. In Tollywood, there are three such directors. Three films each, and yet the industry treats them like they’ve been making hits forever.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga is the guy who makes heartbreak feel explosive. Arjun Reddy wasn’t just a hit, it became a thing people couldn’t stop talking about. Then came Kabir Singh in Bollywood, and Animal, which mixed big action and high emotions in a way that left audiences buzzing. Now Spirit with Prabhas is coming, and fans are bracing for another Sandeep Reddy-style rollercoaster. Eight years, three films, and somehow, he’s already a top-tier name.

Naga Ashwin works differently, he’s like someone painting carefully, stroke by stroke. Yevade Subramanyam had life lessons tucked inside, Mahanati felt magical, and now Kalki 2898 AD dives into future mythology. Ten years, three films, but each one screams his style. Fans are holding their breath for the sequel to Kalki, hoping for the same wow factor.

Sujeeth? He’s the sprinter of the group. Started young with Run Raja Run, went pan-India with Saaho, and recently showed his chops in OG with Pawan Kalyan. His movies don’t come fast, but when they do, the pace on screen is lightning. Eleven years, not many films, but he makes every frame count. Next up, a new project with Nani, movie lovers already know it’ll be a ride.
