After completing his engineering, he decided to pursue a career in films to continue his father's legacy and did a dialogue modulation course for a year.[4] He is close friends with Prabhas, V. Vamsi Krishna Reddy, and Pramod Uppalapati, the latter two, who own UV Creations, a prominent production house in Telugu cinema.[3]
