After joining as an apprentice in Vizag, he decided to study filmmaking, and went to pursue at International Film School, Sydney (now known as AFTT – Academy of Film, Theatre & Television), Australia.^[4][5]

Career

Early work

Sandeep worked as an apprentice for the film Manasu Maata Vinadhu in 2005 for 25 days at Rushikonda Beach, Vizag.

Arjun Reddy

He started writing the script for Arjun Reddy in 2013 and finished it in a year. Producer, Swapna Dutt and Sharwanand showed interest to do the role however it didn't pan out as Sharwanand had multiple projects in the queue at that time.

He was introduced to Vijay Deverakonda by a common friend. He was very impressed with his look and was convinced that he found the protagonist for the powerful role. He cast him as the lead for his directorial debut, Arjun Reddy. No producers came forward to do this risque film. So, he, his brother and father started a company "Bhadrakali Pictures" and produced the film themselves. The film was released on 25 August 2017 and became a blockbuster hit with rave reviews. The film, produced on a budget of ₹4{{mdash}}5 crores,^[6][7] went on to gross more than INR ₹500 million (USD $8 million) at the box office.^[8]

Sandeep spent a week working on English subtitles for the film, just to capture the essence of the words, and to convey emotions of the film, to non-Telugu language audience.^[9]

Controversy

The film ran into trouble with censor board for its depiction of smoking and narcotic drug use. It also created furor for its kissing scenes and also for a movie poster which was approved by Telangana Film Chamber. Senior Congressman and Telangana Political Leader, V. Hanumantha Rao raged over the positioning of this Matured film to the audience. He went on to roads peeling off posters and stickers of the film promoting audience not to encourage such violent films.

Women protection cells and other women organizations appealed to courts and media not to highlight women in a bad light or publish intimate content which they believed degrading and unnecessary.
