To celebrate the occasion, netizens and fans are trending the hashtag #1MFollowersForVenkateshOnInsta on social media.
Recently, on D Rama Naidu’s 95th birth anniversary, Venkatesh shared a candid pic with his late father and wrote “Verified Thank you for all the memories nanna, your presence will always be missed. #DRNJayanthi”
Presently, Venkatesh is reprising the role of Dhanush in the Telugu remake of Asuran titled Narappa. While Priyamani is reprising Manju Warrier’s role from the original, Kollywood beauty Amala Paul is likely to essay a crucial role. Directed by ‘Kotha Bangaru Lokam’ fame Srikanth Addala, the shooting of the film started in January at Uravakonda in Anantapur district and a high-octane action sequence has been canned on Venkatesh & Co at the Theri Kaadu desert. The shooting is expected to resume once the lockdown gets lifted.
After this film, Venkatesh is expected to join hands with young director Tharun Bhascker. Touted to be a sports drama, the untitled film is reportedly set against the backdrop of Hyderabad Race Club in Malakpet and the plot revolves around a horse jockey who later turns into a gambler on horse racing.
