Mumbai, Sep 19 (IANS) Kalyan Dasari, best known for co-producing films like Mahesh Babu’s ‘Bharat Ane Nenu’ and Ram Charan starrer- ‘Vinaya Vidheya Rama’ has achieved a new benchmark with his first production venture.

Kalyan is the son of acclaimed producer D.V.V. Danayya, best known for producing films like ‘RRR’ and ‘Ninnu Kori’ who has made an astonishing mark in the Telugu industry. Meanwhile, Kalyani also stepped into his father’s shoes and co-produced some highly acclaimed Telugu belt films.
