01Early life

Sujeeth started creating short films at the age of 17 under the name Sujeeth Sign. He holds a film degree from the LV Prasad Film & TV Academy in Chennai and has created over 30 short films. In an interview Sujeeth stated that "I actually came into the film industry to work as an assistant director under Puri Jagannadh. But after meeting him, he suggested that I can start making films myself".

He got an opportunity to debut under UV Creations, with Run Raja Run (2014). Starring Sharwanand and Seerat Kapoor in the lead roles, it went to become a sleeper hit at the box office. Following the instant success of his debut, he developed a story for Prabhas. He narrated it to Prabhas during the shooting of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. Titled Saaho (2019), it was shot simultaneously in Telugu, Hindi and some scenes reshot in Tamil with an ensemble cast of actors from different industries. However, unlike his debut success, Saaho was made with a huge budget of 350 crores, making it the second-costliest film in Telugu cinema, at the time. It opened from mixed-to-negative reviews, but was an above average grosser at the box-office.

Sujeeth then collaborated with Pawan Kalyan in the film They Call Him OG. The film was released in September 2025.
