Tollywood stars Venkatesh and Naga Chaitanya will be playing the main leads in the Telugu movie titled Venky Mama. Incidentally, they are uncle and nephew in real life and it would be interesting to see them share the screen space for the first time and that too as uncle and nephew in the movie.
To be directed by Bobby aka KS Ravindra, the shooting of this multi starrer is slated to commence from February onwards. Rakul Preet Singh has been roped in to play the female lead in this project and reports are that she will be joining the sets on February 21. Huma Qureshi will be the other heroine in the film.
The shooting will begin next month as planned and will go on till June after which the post production will begin. Venky Mama’s release is scheduled to happen later this year and the release will be announced as the film progresses.
The project will be bankrolled jointly by Suresh Productions and Blue Planet Entertainment on a very big budget. Devi Sri Prasad has been roped in to compose tunes for Venky Mama and Prasad Murella will be cranking the camera.
Venkatesh’s last outing F2: Fun and Frustration, which hit the marquee as a Sankaranthi release, is turning out to be a big hit. While Venkatesh and Varun Tej play the heroes, it has Tammannah Bhatia and Mehreen Pirzada as their female leads. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the film is about two sisters played by Tammannah and Mehreen who have a dominating attitude and how their relationship with their husband / fiancé gets affected due to it. The narrative is funny which had attracted the attention of the audiences.
F2 has been bankrolled by ace producer Dil Raju under his banner Sri Venkateswara Creations. It was made on a budget of Rs 30 crore and had collected Rs 120 crore so far.
With the progress of Venky Mama right on track, fans are expecting more info about it.
