Venkatraman 's striking gold!

Actor Ganesh Venkatraman is certainly having a dream run. The tall and handsome hunk who has been giving sleepless nights to pretty young things has yet again struck gold after his double bonanza, Abhiyum Naanum and Unnaipol Oruvan.
Yes, this time around, Ganesh will play the son of none other than the Big B himself. Needless to say, he is on cloud nine.
���������Yes, I play Amitabh Bachchanji���������s son, in Major Ravi���������s Kandahar, who goes on to become a commando.The story is based on the hijacking of the Indian Airlines Flight 814 in 1999 in Kandahar,��������� effuses the actor.
Speaking about his good luck, Ganesh beams, ���������It���������s a dream come true. I really had to pinch myself to believe the news. The icing on the cake is that it was Mohanlal sir who recommended me for the role! The moment I got the confirmation, the first thing I did was to inform director Radha Mohan and actor Prakash Raj who introduced me to the Tamil audience in Abhiyum Naanum.���������
Kandahar is also going to be the actor���������s big break in Malayalam and Hindi as it���������s a trilingual. ���������The director wanted someone who could speak Tamil and was also endearing at the same time. The role was initially offered to Suriya but it soon came to me as Major Ravi was impressed by my performance in Unnaipol Oruvan.
Ganesh can���������t wait to begin shooting for the film. ���������We are planning to start the shoot in June. And with legends like Amitabhji and Mohanlal around, it���������s going to be a great learning experience for me.���������
