Nayakudu Vinayakudu is a 1980 Telugu-language comedy film, produced by A. V. Subba Rao under the Prasad Art Productions banner and directed by K. Pratyagatma. It stars Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Jayalalitha, with music composed by T. Chalapathi Rao. Notably, this movie marked Jayalalithaa's last proper film in her acting career as it got released just a few weeks after her last Tamil film, Nadhiyai Thedi Vandha Kadal. It was the last film for which the actress-politician had worked as a lead heroine before entering official politics; and also her last film in Telugu as well. This was the last film directed by K. Pratyagatma at the age of 60 before retirement.[2]

Chiranjeevi (Akkineni Nageswara Rao) a Ph.D. scholar & student union leader loves a charming girl Vasantha (Jayalalitha), daughter of Municipal Chairman Vinayaka Rao (Rao Gopal Rao). Vinayaka Rao is a deceitful person who perpetrates anti-social activities in the veil of social welfare and illicitly siphons off the public. Chiranjeevi always opposes his misdeeds, keeping the grudge in mind, Vinayaka Rao grabs Chiranjeevi's brother-in-law Shekar (Lakshmikanth) into his clutches, makes him desert his wife, and compels him to get Rs.50,000 for his business. Here helpless, Chiranjeevi decides to sell their ancestors' property. During that process, he stays a night at an old building where he acquires a magical statuette that grants any wish. Through it, Chiranjeevi effectuates so many wonders and makes fun of Vinayaka Rao. Soon, he realizes all this was his dream and returns. By the time, Shekar is defrauded by Vinayaka Rao, realizes his mistake and pleads for pardon from Chiranjeevi. At this point, Municipal elections are declared when Chiranjeevi contests against Vinayaka Rao and overthrows him. At last, Chiranjeevi ceases Vinayaka Rao's criminal acts and retains a semblance of order and peace in the society. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Chiranjeevi & Vasantha.
