Venkatesh tickles your funny bones in a Nawabi look in F3, makers release special video on his birthday

There are very few actors in Telugu cinema who can match Venkatesh's effortlessness in comedies. It can't get any better when director Anil Ravipudi is collaborating with him for the comic caper F3, the sequel to their earlier collaboration F2: Fun and Frustration. F3's shoot commenced in December 2020 and underwent a few delays owing to the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Commemorating Venkatesh's birthday, the makers of F3 have released a special video of the actor from the film where he appears in a Nawabi look, flashing a series of notes in the backdrop of Charminar. 

"Here's the Special Birthday Video of @VenkyMama from #F3Movie 🎉 Have a #FUNtastic Birthday with Tons of Energy as always! @IAmVarunTej @tamannaahspeaks @Mehreenpirzada @AnilRavipudi @Mee_Sunil @ThisIsDSP @SVC_official @f3_movie #HBDVictoryVenkatesh," read the note shared by the social media handle of Sri Venkateswara Creations along with the video.

A series of background dancers in the backdrop of Charminar take you to a qawwali-like setup as they introduce Venkatesh in the garb of a Nawab, who sports a smile while flaunting several notes, donning a peach-coloured kurta pyjama along with a red overcoat. Venkatesh was cast in the role of Venky, a personal assistant to an MLA, in the film's prequel, who needs to revive his relationship with his better-half. Actors Sunil, Ali, Sonal Chauhan are the major additions in the film's sequel. 

While the film's basic conflict in the prequel revolved around the protagonist's shaky marriage, the sequel focuses on a financial issue that the characters need to get past. F3 has music by Devi Sri Prasad and is produced by Dil Raju and Shirish. The film hits theatres on February 25, 2022. Y Vijaya, Annapurna, Pradeep, Pragathi Suresh, Priyadarshi, Vennela Kishore and others also appear in crucial roles. Venkatesh's two films that were released in 2021 arrived directly on OTT - Narappa and Drushyam 2.
