Venkatesh is at the top of his game with the success of Sankranthiki Vasthunnam. The comedy caper is all set to cross the ₹300 crore gross mark this week, surprising trade experts in Tollywood.
Made on a budget of just ₹54 crore, the Anil Ravipudi-directed film has garnered a profit of over ₹100 crore at the box office. This massive success has brought Venkatesh back into the limelight in a significant way.
Now, he is being offered back-to-back films, and we at OTTplay have exclusively learned that Venky Atluri, the director of Lucky Bhaskar, Sir, and Tholi Prema, has narrated a story to Venkatesh.
The star actor reportedly liked the idea and has asked for a complete narration. The project is nearly finalized and will be produced by Naga Vamsi of Sithara Entertainments on a massive scale.
Venky Atluri is known for making content-rich films, and sources reveal that he has prepared a solid entertainer for Venkatesh. Additionally, a young director named Nandu has also impressed Venkatesh with his script. It is now up to Venkatesh to decide which project he will take to the floors first.
Currently, Venky Atluri is busy giving the finishing touches to his script and is expected to meet Venkatesh for a final hearing soon. On another front, Venkatesh will also appear in the second season of Rana Naidu, which has completed shooting. The dubbing formalities are done, and other post-production work is underway. Netflix plans to release the second season in March 2025.
Now that Venkatesh has scored a massive hit with Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, it will be interesting to see how he handles his career moving forward. Stay tuned for more updates on this project.
