After his comic turn in Sankranti super hit F2- Fun and Frustration was lapped up by one and all, victory Venkatesh is set for a similar yet different turn in his next, Venky Mama. The actor who swears by versatility will be seen as a rich landlord who has a brush with farming as well in the Bobby aka KS Ravindra directorial, a production venture between Suresh Productions and People Media Factory.

Sources say both Kona and Bobby worked extensively on the character graph of the superstar and came up with a part that not only tickles the funny bone of audience but also makes ‘em emotional. It’s a mix that has paid rich dividends for the actor in the past. The humongous success of F2 meant that Kona and Bobby had to rework on their earlier draft and pepper Venky’s part with more humour. In the film, which is over except for a couple of week’s shooting, Naga Chaitanya will be seen as a soldier, part of the reason why the unit shot in Kashmir sometime early this year. The last schedule will be on from next week.
