While he is currently busy working with Tamil superstar Suriya on a new family entertainer tentatively titled Suriya 46, he shared an interesting habit related to his filmmaking process.
Venky said that he always narrates his scripts first to actor Akkineni Naga Chaitanya. This unique friendship between the director and the actor has existed for years, even though they have not yet worked together on a film. When asked about this, Venky explained that schedule clashes and other professional commitments have prevented them from collaborating so far. However, he expressed hope that a project with Naga Chaitanya might still happen in the future. Fans are also eagerly waiting for this exciting combination to come to life on screen.
Meanwhile, Naga Chaitanya is currently shooting for his next movie, NC 24, directed by Karthik Varma Dandu. Actress Meenakshi Chaudhary plays the female lead in this film. The makers believe this could become a landmark film in Naga Chaitanya’s career.
