Although, his third directorial venture Cow Boy Kulla, a comedy flick with Dwarakish gave him accolades. Vijay's career turning point came his fourth movie Gandhada Gudi in 1973. Gandhada Gudi was Dr. Rajkumar's 150th movie, who was the premier actor of Kannada films at that time and Dr. Vishnuvardhan's third movie, who was a very popular actor with his massive success in previous movie Naagarahaavu. Gandhada Gudi was a milestone in Kannada films. Vijay directed his next five movies for Dr. Rajkumar, namely Sri Srinivasa Kalyana, Mayura, Naa Ninna Mareyalare, Badavara Bandhu, Sanaadi Appanna.
