Thanks to his father's job as a railway station master, he travelled extensively during his formative years and did his schooling from Chennai (then Madras), Rajahmundry, Anaparthi, Gudivada, Ongole and Nellore before going to Vijayawada.
His first serious association with the creative industry started with his joining Kalabharathi, founded by Jandhyala Subramanya Sastry (who he considers his guru) in 1972.
In 1982, he started his real work in the film industry as a script associate for Amayaka Chakrayavarthi for Janardhan Vallabhaneni (Producer: Vijay Bapineedu).
In 1984, Vamsi's Sitara was a major hit for which he debuted as dialogue writer,[1] and he continued his work for some of the most successful movies of the time until 2009.
His strong association with the television medium gave several outputs in the form of soaps Anubandham, Kalisiundaam Raa for Balaji Telefilms and Gayatri for Radon Media Ltd.
