Anandam
Anandam starring Aakash and Rekha Vedavyas in the lead touched our hearts not just the story but also with the music. The smell of youth is spread through the songs of Anandam: the story of two youngsters, Krishna and Aishwarya who are neighbours for twenty years study in the same college and hate each other immensely. They find real love in them when they stay separately. It was the best album in 2001. No one would’ve expected both the music soundtrack and movie to be huge Hits, but the Sreenu Vaitla directed film proved the same. Devi Sri Prasad had composed music for this flick.

Venky
Released in 2004, Venky starred Ravi Teja and Sneha is the story of three of friends who get selected for the police jobs has been framed in a couple of murders on their way to the police academy. They risk their lives and find out the truth behind the murders. The Sreenu Vaitla-Devi Sri Prasad combo has never failed to deliver a great album. It comes to no surprise that Venky is among their best. Be it a melody or peppy number, Venky album was full of energy that truly delivered. You won't mind watching the film again and again.

Dhee
Dhee was yet another super-successful comedy from the same team. Arguably the biggest commercial success of Vishnu Manchu, the film starred Genelia as the female lead. Raved by the critics and audiences alike, Dhee is considered as one of the best comedy films ever made in Tollywood. This one is fondly remembered for Vishnu and Brahmanandam’s comic chemistry which is one of the best offerings from Sreenu Vaitla and his team.
