Hailing from Kadapa district, Andhra Pradesh, Veera has always been passionate about cinema. His journey in the film industry began as a journalist with Eenadu, where he honed his storytelling skills.

When 'Pushpa' was in the making, his local knowledge of Chittoor and Kadapa districts proved invaluable to director Sukumar. Veera's research on the local dialects, customs, and the overall culture of the region enriched the film. His work was so impressive that he was promoted from an associate director to a second associate director for 'Pushpa 2'.

Veera's contributions extended beyond research. He was deeply involved in script development, Gangamma Jathara and Red Sandalwood scenes . His understanding of the local nuances ensured that the film's portrayal of the region was authentic and relatable. The much-acclaimed 'jathara' sequence in 'Pushpa 2' is a testament to Veera's meticulous attention to detail.

With a dream of becoming a director, Veera is close to realizing his ambition. He has already narrated a script to a leading actor, and an official announcement is expected soon.
