Venkatesh was a backbencher?

Usually, new-age actors like Vijay Devarakonda and Naveen Polishetty visit engineering college to woo young students for their movies. Now, it is the turn of seasoned star Venkatesh to woo 2k kids since most of them wouldn’t have watched his films made in the 80's and 90’s. “Thanks for watching my films like ‘Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chetu’, ‘Gopala Gopala’, ‘Narappa, and Drushyam' released between 2013 to 2023,” he said. He also responded subtly to calls from youngsters about his web series ‘Rana Naidu,’ and hints at its sequel.

He further claimed that he has done 'Saindhav’ only to reach out to the new-age audience. When the students chanted Coca Cola Pepsi, Venky Mama Sexy,’ he responded affirmatively to the word ‘sexy’ with a glint of pride. He also described himself as a ‘backbencher’ in college but urged them to be disciplined and shun all kinds of vices.

“Expecting too much from education actually disappoints some students. But the universe will give you the right things at the right time, don’t worry about it”, he said.

When he took the names of Pawan Kalyan, Prabhas, Allu Arjun and Ram Charan, the crowd went berserk and he enjoyed those moments.
Venkatesh is leaving no stone unturned to draw in more eyeballs for his action adventure 'Saindhav' as he is doing an anger-driven role after a long gap.
