Vijay Yelakanti, an architect turned filmmaker, his journey took an unexpected turn when he explored the world of storytelling through direction and screenplay at Ramanaidu Film School in Hyderabad.

During his career, Vijay collaborated closely with renowned director SS Rajamouli. He contributed to the scripts of blockbuster films like "Eega" and served as an Associate Director, handling the intricate world of visual effects for both "Eega" and "Bahubali-1." Beyond cinema, he lent his creative mind to concepts for Harvard's "HBX Online" and John Frieda. Notably, he directed Horlick's captivating commercial titled "Awesome Squad" and worked on several other advertising projects.

Vijay's transition from advertising to filmmaking bore fruit when he made his debut as a Writer/Director with "W/O Ram." The film positioned him as a director to watch out for, showcasing his unique storytelling sensibilities. Maa Kaali is set to be his upcoming directorial release.
