The entire hype on ‘Gopala Gopala’ had been built around Powerstar Pawan Kalyan though we know that the principal character in the movie happens to be Venkatesh. There had been doubts on Venky on how he would be able to get along beside a humongous mass image hero like Pawan Kalyan.
But Venkatesh shines throughout the film and gives special moments to his fans and audiences to see his well chiselled performance. Choosing a multi-starrer isn’t that easy for a hero like Venkatesh who had been one of the reigning big stars among his contemporaries. And that too getting on board a demigod like figure Pawan Kalyan whose craze it at peaks would definitely pose threat to his presence in the film.
Nevertheless, Venkatesh travels through the film with a flow where he seems to be in sink with his character. All that wit and humour he is adept at, all his histroinics as a star, the subtle details and requirements of the role he is portraying; Venky elevates his character and also himself in ‘Gopala Gopala’. What a transformation! Not letting himself come down even a bit before one of the craziest young hero of the current era. Phenomenal!
