Ace director VV Vinayak is bereaved as he lost his mother. Vinayak’s mother G. Nagarathnam, who had been seriously ill for few months, succumbed to her sickness on Tuesday. She was 63 year old.

Vinayak had already lost his father four years ago and hence tried his best to save his mother’s life but in vain. While Vinayak’s father Krishna Rao was a film distributor and his mother was a homemaker. Akhil’s debut film to be directed by Vinayak was supposed to be launched in November, but with Vinayak’s mother fallen sick, Nagarjuna had postponed the movie muhurat to December.
