Vinayak from his first film Aadhi as an Associate Director and later became a co-director. Right from the first movie of Dil Raju Productions ''Dil'', Varma has given his support and acted as a backbone to Dil Raju's direction department and has continued to do so. In 2009, Dil Raju gave the first direction opportunity to Varma, to launch a Naga Chaitanya (son of Nagarjuna) in ''Josh''. He also launched another Karthika Nair (daughter of yesteryears star actress Radha) in the same movie. With Josh, he became one of the rare directors who launched two star kids in one movie.
After Josh, Varma got another chance from Raju for his second movie, Krishnashtami.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.indiaglitz.com/sunil-josh-vasu-varma-film-from-august-malayalam-news-108734 |title=Sunil – 'Josh' Vasu Varma film from August – Malayalam News |date=9 June 2014 |website=IndiaGlitz.com}}</ref>
