I am not taking off my shirt: Venkatesh

Actor Venkatesh says he is not going the Salman Khan way for the Telugu remake of ���Bodyguard���The Hindi version of your upcoming film ���Bodyguard��� has already been telecast on TV, so do you think your film will stand a chance at the Tollywood BO?���Bodyguard��� is not a frame to frame copy of the original Malayalam film, nor does it have much in common with the Hindi version. I strongly believe that if a film has a good storyline, there will always be repeat watches in any language. For example, ���Chanti��� was a blockbuster in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi despite the three hitting the marquee one after the other.Salman Khan had taken off his shirt in ���Bodyguard���, will you do the same?I am not taking off my shirt. Manaki antha scene ledu! (I don���t think I can pull it off��� ) (laughs)Your next film with Mahesh Babu has created a lot of buzz.Yes, both Mahesh and I are eagerly waiting for ���Sitamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu��� to start. Mahesh is an intense actor and his comic timing is amazing. I am sure the film will kick start the multi-starrer trend in the Telugu film industry.What about your dream project ���Vivekananda���?We are still in the research process. Vivekananda and his teachings have been a great inspiration to me, so I really want to give it my best, even if it takes a little longer than usual. Right now, I am busy with ���SVSC��� and after that I am doing an action-entertainer with Meher Ramesh.There is news that you are planning to do a sequel to the 1990 blockbuster ���Bobbili Raja���...I am interested in doing a sequel to the film with Rana in the lead and myself playing a key role. ���Bobbili Raja��� was the first T-wood film to use animated characters and the sequel too will put to good use the latest technology.Your nephew Rana has turned out to be a true crossover actor, working both in Bollywood and Kollywood apart from Tollywood���Rana, even as a kid, was always enterprising. He is passionate about films. He loves to travel and I am happy that he is moving beyond the confines of the Telugu film industry.Do you have plans to introduce your son, Arjun, as a child artiste? Arjun is just nine years old and he loves watching movies. ���Karate Kid��� is his favorite movie. He keeps asking me to make a movie with him as the Karate Kid and me playing Jackie Chan���s role! But that���s just a wish, right now, he has to concentrate on his studies.
