Sampath Nandi is an Indian film director, screenwriter and producer who works primarily in Telugu cinema.

Yemaindi Ee Vela is a 2010 Indian Telugu-language romantic drama film, starring Varun Sandesh, Nisha Aggarwal, Nisha Shah and Shashank. The film was directed and written by Sampath Nandi. The movie was a commercial success and resuscitated Varun Sandesh's then-declining career, completing a fifty-day run in 32 centers. It was later remade in Tamil as Ishtam, with Nisha Aggarwal reprising her role from the original and Vimal playing the role portrayed by Varun Sandesh. The film’s title is derived from a song from the 2007 film Aadavari Matalaku Arthale Verule.
