Well, it does not take much deduction to figure out that Venkatesh's career has kind of stalled. Though he has been open to experimenting with his roles, barring Drishyam, nothing big has come his way.
Gopala Gopala was his last film to hit the screens. Venkatesh has been through ups and down in his career and he is in no rush to sign films, though he has okayed a couple of projects.
In fact, he did like a script narrated by Kranthi Madhav of Malli Malli Idi Raani Roju. Though Venkatesh okayed the script three months back, the film is yet to go on to the sets. But again, it is being said that he is looking for inspiration to start the film.
Well, it sure looks like he need big motivation to get him going now.
