Where is Venkob Rao?

Venkob Rao was last seen in and around Basavanagudi, sporting a red sweater and grey trousers. He might appear dazed and confused, as he suffers from Alzheimer's, and has very little recollection of who he is or where he comes from. The 66-year-old retired BEML employee is a typically old-school Bengalurean who has spent most of his life in the pleasant alleys of Basavanagudi. His simple ways seem out of fashion, in comparison to the fast-changing world around him. Much like the gentleman from a time gone by, he is a soft spoken, mild-mannered man whose world revolves around his wife and son. Venkob is played by veteran actor Ananth Nag in

Godhi Banna Sadharna Mykattu
