Venkatesh the son of Late D Rama Naidu , doyen of Indian cinema, is teaming up with Salman Khan for a film produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. This marks the comeback to Bollywood after 25 years by `Victory' Venkatesh whose popularity with the masses ( family crowd) is unmatched.
Salman Khan and Venkatesh will have equal screen space in the comedy film to be directed by Farhad Samji. Salman during the promotion of film Antim in Hyderabad had said that he would soon be teaming up with a popular hero of Tollywood. Sajid by adding Venkatesh to the cast has widened the overseas market and also the Andhra / TS regions. Telugu origin people are the main stay of movie viewing public in US - UK- Canada and EU countries. Telugu film collections overseas are almost equal to Hindi films. Way back in 2019, when Salman attended Venkatesh daughter's wedding in Jaipur, Bina Kak who was present at the wedding posted a photo of her with Salman and Venkatesh and captioned it Congrats Venkatesh. Rana Daggubatti is nephew of Venkatesh.
D Rama Naidu launched his son Venkatesh in Anari , a remake of blockbuster Tamil film Chinna Thambi. The film was a hit. Karisma Kapoor played the heroine and was released in 1993. In 1995, same team remade Telugu film Yamaleela as Taqdeerwala with Raveena Tandon as heroine. The film was a disaster and Venaatesh never came back to Bollywood. Yamaleela had comedian Ali as hero and this fantasy film was a blockbuster. Venakatesh's Drishyam 2 streamed on OTT has been received well,
