Venkatesh became the first senior hero from Tollywood to enter the 300-crore club with Sankranthi Ki Vastunnam, directed by Anil Ravipudi. The film gave him much-needed success after a long gap. Now, Venkatesh is keen to maintain this momentum.
There have been strong rumors about a possible film with director Trivikram Srinivas. But he is fully focused on his next film with Allu Arjun. Even though that project is delayed due to Allu Arjun’s commitments, Trivikram is reportedly willing to wait.

Trivikram is also ready to shoot his film with Allu Arjun parallel to Atlee’s film. So, the chances of a Venkatesh-Trivikram collaboration happening soon are very low.
Meanwhile, many directors are struggling to impress Venkatesh with new stories. Recently, he was reportedly impressed by a script from Samajavaragamana writer Nandu Savirigana, but he hasn’t committed yet.

There are also reports that Venkatesh will appear in a supporting role in Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film with Anil Ravipudi, though the length of his role remains unclear. This speculation has generated a lot of buzz among cinema fans.
It is now believed that Venkatesh’s films don’t generate the same excitement unless they are directed by Anil Ravipudi. Any project with a different director may not receive the same level of hype, both within the industry and among fans.

Venkatesh is also being very cautious after his 300-crore blockbuster. He’s likely wary of taking risks, especially after the disappointment of Saindhav, which had a lifetime collection of less than 10 crores. The fear of another flop is probably keeping him on his toes.
On another note, the shooting of Netflix’s Rana Naidu 2 is almost finished. The team is now preparing for dubbing and release. Given the shocking response to Season 1, they are being extra careful with the second season.
