Senior actor Nagarjuna learned a hard lesson after taking on a string of action roles. He faced a series of flops with films like Officer, Wild Dog, and The Ghost, which significantly impacted his market.
It was only when he returned to family dramas like Bangarraju and Naa Saami Ranga that he found success again.
Similarly, Venkatesh has received a clear message from audiences: they don’t want to see him in mindless action films.
In 2024, he released Saindhav, an action film timed for the Sankranthi season, but it turned out to be a major flop at the box office. However, this Sankranthi season has been a stark contrast for the actor.
His latest film, Sankranthiki Vasthunam, emerged as a clear winner at the box office.
The contrasting results of these two consecutive Sankranthi seasons highlight what fans and audiences expect from Venkatesh. They prefer seeing him in simple, entertaining family dramas rather than in action-packed films.
