Vassistha made a name for himself with his debut film, Bimbisara. The fantasy drama, starring Kalyan Ram as the lead, became a sleeper hit, earning good money at the box office and establishing Vassistha as one of the most sought-after directors in Telugu cinema. Kalyan Ram was the one who recognized Vassistha’s talent and gave him his big break.
Following the success of Bimbisara, Vassistha landed a golden opportunity to direct megastar Chiranjeevi in his next film. Titled Vishwambhara, this fantasy drama is nearing completion, with post-production work currently underway. The makers are planning to release the film on May 9, 2025, as per reports.
Meanwhile, Vassistha has already lined up his next project. According to the latest industry buzz, he recently met Kalyan Ram to discuss a big-budget film and narrated a script. Reports suggest that Kalyan Ram has given the green light to the project, which will be officially announced soon.
Kalyan Ram is known for his experimental choices and for giving opportunities to talented directors. He was also instrumental in launching the career of director Anil Ravipudi, who is now soaring high with the blockbuster success of Sankranthiki Vasthunam.
On the other hand, Vassistha is highly confident that Vishwambhara will be a massive success, especially since Chiranjeevi is returning to the fantasy genre after a long time. The film is being produced by UV Creations on a massive budget, with music composed by MM Keeravani.
For now, Vassistha is preparing to return to his roots with yet another experimental film alongside Kalyan Ram. It remains to be seen what kind of project they will create this time.
