Director Vamshi Paidipally's film "Varisu" received mixed reviews, with criticism directed towards its unoriginal script and storyline. Despite its worldwide gross of nearly Rs 300 crore, the film was not well received in Tamil Nadu and had lower collections compared to Ajith's "Thunivu".

Although "Varisu" did not bring Paidipally significant recognition, he gained more fame with his successful bilingual film "Oopiri" featuring Karthi and Nagarjuna. The director initially approached Mahesh Babu for "Varisu" but was declined, leading to him securing approval from Thalapathy Vijay.

As he looks for his next project, Paidipally is in search of another top star to collaborate with. However, all of Telugu's top actors are currently busy with multiple projects, making it difficult for Paidipally to secure their involvement. He is considering Allu Arjun or Prabhas, but faces challenges in persuading them to join his project.

As of now, there is no clarity on who he will next work with.
