Boyapati Srinu needs no introduction to the Telugu film audiences. He is super popular for his high octane masala commercial films. In fact, Boyapati is one of the few directors of this generation who knows how to make a proper commercial potboiler. Thus, many of his films become goldmines at the box office. Today, Boyapati completes 15 years as a director. His directorial debut film Bhadra had hit the theaters on this very same day in 2005. Celebrating this special milestone, let us have a recap into his career.
