Krishna Tulasi Daily Serial – E548 – 26th Nov

Venky Atluri’s journey in Tollywood is a unique one. Starting his career as an actor in films like “Jnapakam” and “Sneha Geetham,” he surprisingly shifted gears and pursued screenwriting. While his debut as a director with “Tholi Prema” was a massive success, his follow-up films “Mr. Majnu” and “Rang De” failed to impress. This dip led some to label him a “one-film wonder.”

However, Venky wasn’t one to give up. His fourth film, “Sir,” marked a complete turnaround. He not only convinced the commercially-driven Dhanush to star in a different kind of movie but also delivered a critical and commercial hit. The film’s socially conscious plot and heartwarming story resonated deeply with audiences.

This unexpected success has created immense anticipation for Venky’s next project, “Lucky Bhaskar.” The teaser hints at a complete departure from his previous work, venturing into the crime-comedy genre.

Venky’s ability to convince actors like Dhanush and Dulquer Salmaan, known for their specific film choices, to step outside their comfort zones showcases his talent and ambition. With his willingness to experiment and consistent delivery of hits, Venky Atluri is well on his way to carving a unique and successful path as a director.
