Career

Sudheer Varma released his debut directorial venture Swamy Ra Ra (2013), starring Nikhil Siddharth and Swathi Reddy. The Hindu stated that "the film will pick-pocket your brain and you'll most probably end up feeling richer, if not a millionaire."[4] It was commercially successful at the box office.[5] The film was remade in Kannada as Jamboo Savari.

Varma's second film was Dohchay (2015), starring Naga Chaitanya and Kriti Sanon. He later directed Keshava (2017) with Nikhil Siddharth, Ritu Varma, and Isha Kopikar in the lead roles.

Style and influences

Talking about his style Sudheer shared, "I'm influenced largely by foreign films. I am a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese so their work has been very important in my learning. As for my style, whenever I do a film I watch a lot of films from the same genre. If I see anything interesting, I adapt it. The story structure is mine and in place even before I've thought of inspiration. After that I might adapt some scenes in my films from others. Still, I do the screenplay to suit our audience. I don't want the audience to disconnect from the film so I make sure our audience relates to it."^{[citation needed]}

In another interview he said, "According to me, inspiration or copy, both are same. That's why I give credit to the directors from whom I steal the scenes. Keshava too inspired from several films but not any one particular film. So, in the special thanks card, I mentioned each director from whose films I took inspiration for Keshava. This is my way of paying tribute to the scenes that left a great impact on me. My favourite Indian directors are Mani Ratnam, RGV, Rajkumar Santoshi, Rajkumar Hirani and more."[6]
