In Tollywood circles, discussions are going on about how some popular writer cum directors are selling their mediocre scripts to other directors for extra income.
An example of this trend is Devaki Nandana Vasudeva directed by Arjun Jandyala. He previously directed Guna 369 (which didn’t perform well at the box office) but still was given the opportunity to direct Devaki Nandana Vasudeva, starring Ashok Galla, Mahesh Babu’s brother-in-law.

The script for the movie was provided by Prasanth Varma, who had already made a name for himself with his work. The film generated a lot of noise mainly due to Prasanth Varma’s reputation, but despite all the hype, it turned out to be a washout at the box office.
While director Arjun Jandyala has been receiving backlash, Prasanth Varma, who penned the script, is also facing a lot of flak.
