Gutta Bapineedu Chowdary (22 September 1936 – 11 February 2019), popularly known as Vijaya Bapineedu, was an Indian film director, producer, screenwriter, publisher, and novelist known for his works in Telugu cinema. Bapineedu began his career by writing detective stories and later launched the popular magazine Vijaya, which was noted for its unique format and extensive content. This success earned him the nickname 'Vijaya' Bapineedu. He further expanded his publishing career with several successful ventures, including the children's magazine Bommarillu, and authored several novels. His success as a writer led him to the film industry, where some of his novels were adapted into movies. Transitioning to cinema, Bapineedu co-founded the production company Syam Prasad Arts in partnership with Maganti Ravindranath Chowdary.
