Do you know my market?” But, Ashwini Dutt said: “I don’t care all that things, you should do a movie with me.” But, NTR just smiled and left the matter.
The time to name:
So, Ashwini Dutt met NTR three more times, and NTR appreciated him and said, “K.Bapaiah is a good director so you go and meet him.” After that, started the movie with Bapaiah and MS Reddy’s contribution. One day, while signing on the call sheets, NTR asked about the name of the production house. Then, Ashwini Dutt said: “We think to the name of Krishna, you name it sir.” So, in the memory of Vyajayanthi mala which is garnished to the neck of Lord Krishna, NTR has written the name “Vyjayanthi”.
