Venky Atluri had to convince many around him to become a director. He started out as a short film director, then became an actor, slowly converted into a writer and now, he is a director.
Only few of his friends believed in his potential as a director, but most of them got to know only after watching his film, Tholiprema with Varun Tej.
Akhil Akkineni at the pre-release event of Mr. Majnu said that he met Venky ten years ago and three years back, he told him Mr. Majnu story but he asked him to wait as he feels it will be better as his third film.
As per the reports, Venky did meet Akhil before his first movie, Akhil but that project did not take off, as the hero wanted a masala film to start his career.
After Hello, Adhi Pinisetty's brother came up with a story and Akhil wanted to do that movie for few weeks. He then changed his mind to do Mr. Majnu.
Well, so did he really wanted to do this movie as his 3rd or did he change his mind after Tholiprema? We don't know whether he just decided to tell some story or did he really appreciate Venky's talent back then?
