Raakesh Sashi, a luminary hailing from the picturesque town of "Jaggaiahpet" in Andhra Pradesh, emerges as the quintessence of academic brilliance and creative prowess. As a postgraduate in Industrial Electronics, he ascended to the distinguished rank of 4th in his University, earning the prestigious Gold Medal from Bharathidasan University, Tamil Nadu, in 2006. Following the echoes of his cinematic dreams, Raakesh gracefully transitioned to Hyderabad, the pulsating heart of the Telugu film industry, where he set out to manifest his aspirations as a film director.
In the tapestry of his creative journey, Raakesh's brilliance shone through in 2007 when he actively engaged in a competitive short film event hosted by MAA TV, a revered television channel, securing a coveted spot among the top 10 contenders.
Embarking on his professional trajectory, Raakesh contributed invaluable insights as an assistant to esteemed writers and directors within the vibrant realm of the Telugu film industry.
The year 2015 marked the enchanting debut of Raakesh as a director with "Jatha Kalise," featuring Ashwin Babu and Tejaswi. This cinematic gem unveiled a narrative tapestry woven with novel comedic elements and profound emotional resonance, earning accolades. The crowning moment came with artist Snigdha receiving the prestigious Nandi Award for Best Female Comedian, a tribute bestowed by the State Government.
In 2018, the silver screen witnessed the spellbinding "Vijetha," starring Kalyan Dev and Malavika Nair. Here, Raakesh masterfully painted the nuanced strokes of father-son bonds, delving into the labyrinthine journey of the son's heart. The film not only showcased Raakesh's directorial finesse but also earned Kalyan Dev the coveted "South Indian International Movie Awards" (SIIMA) for Best Male Debut - Telugu.
Raakesh's third directorial venture, a collaboration with Allu Sirish and Anu Emmanuel, bore the intriguing title "Urvasivo Rakshsivo." A reinterpretation of the Tamil film "Pyaar Prema Kaadhal," this creation resonated with Raakesh's unique directorial imprint, featuring bespoke scenes intricately woven into the fabric of the narrative.
