Venkatesh, the beloved Tollywood star, captured fans’ admiration once again with his heartfelt remarks about Mohanlal during the making of "Drushyam," the Telugu adaptation of the Malayalam classic. Known for balancing mass entertainers with meaningful roles, Venkatesh’s recent work in the Drushyam series further cemented his reputation for both talent and humility.
During the film’s shoot, actress Esther Anil who reprised her daughter’s role across Malayalam, Telugu, and Hindi versions—shared an endearing anecdote. She recalled Venkatesh telling the team, "he cannot match some expressions Mohanlal gave as George Kutty, because only Mohanlal can pull them off." Such open admiration from a major star quickly became a hot topic among Telugu film lovers, highlighting the grace and respect Venkatesh brings to his craft.
Rather than imitate Mohanlal, Venkatesh carefully absorbed the essence of the character, delivering Rambabu with his own emotional depth. This genuine approach resonated strongly with audiences and contributed to the commercial and critical success of both Drushyam and its sequel. Fans frequently mention how his humility and sincerity keep him a cherished figure in Tollywood, even after decades.
With the Drushyam series strengthening his bond with the family audience, Venkatesh continues to be celebrated for his authenticity. Fans eagerly await his next move, expecting more heartfelt performances and memorable moments ahead.
