First Look: Venky Mama Mass Charm!
The first look poster along with the title "Sankranthiki Vastunnam" has been released, and it is with full bang! In the poster, Venkatesh is seen in a mass look, as retired cop Yadagiri Damodar Raju (YD Raju). On one hand, the action vibe, on the other hand, his signature comedy smile—this combo confirms that the movie is a full entertainer! Shared on the handle of Sri Venkateswara Creations X, this poster has fans in full swing.
Story, Cast: A comedy-packed kidnapping drama!
Venkatesh is playing the role of retired police officer YD Raju in the story, which is coming up for Sankranthi. His ex-girlfriend, now an ACP, Meenakshi (Meenakshi Chowdhury), asks Raju for help in a high-profile kidnapping case. The twist here is that Raju's wife Bhagyalakshmi (Aishwarya Rajesh) doubts the relationship between the two and joins the case! This three-way dynamic mixes action, comedy, and emotional moments, and the movie is going to be a fun-filled ride, as you can see from the trailer.
The cast includes Venkatesh, Meenakshi, and Aishwarya, along with talented actors like Naresh, P. Sai Kumar, VTV Ganesh, Sarvadaman D. Banerjee, Upendra Limaye, and Srinivas Avasarala. Anil Ravipudi's direction, Bheem's Cicerolio's music, Sameer Reddy's cinematography, and Tammiraju's editing—this team has made the movie a perfect treat for the Sankranthi festival. Produced by Dil Raju and Sirish under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations, this film is the third combo of Anil Ravipudi with Venkatesh (after F2, F3).
