There are no long-term friendships or animosities in the filmdom. It is well-known within the industry that director V V Vinayak had problems with Mani Sarma during the making of Yogi and Lakshmi. But after asking Ramana Gogula out of his forthcoming film, he has decided to bury the hatchet and make friends with Mani Sarma. It is being said that Vinayak was not too happy with Ramana Gogula for giving similar songs and turned to Mani for a better variety.
