Sujeeth started creating short films at the age of 17. He holds a film degree from the LV Prasad Film & TV Academy in [[Chennai]] and has created over 30 short films.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> In an interview Sujeeth stated that "I actually came into the film industry to work as an assistant director under [[Puri Jagannadh]].

Sujeeth got another opportunity to do an expensive film in the UV Creation banner. He developed a solid story for [[Prabhas]]. Prabhas accepted to do the film after [[Baahubali 2: The Conclusion]] completed. The film titled [[Saaho]] was shot simultaneously in Telugu & Hindi.
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 language|Telugu]], [[Hindi]] and some scenes reshot in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] with an ensemble cast of actors from different industries.


However, unlike his debut success, ''Saaho'' was made with a huge budget of {{INR}}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.
In March 2018 the film [[Pre-production]] began. Sujeeth took various cast and crew from [[Hindi cinema | Bollywood]]. Another interview Sujeeth stated that "After receiving a high positive review of Saaho from the North Indian audience, [[Shah Rukh Khan]] called me to him once".
