Venkatesh to replace Balakrishna

Victory Venkatesh was recently seen in the comedy entertainer F3. He is yet to announce his next project. It has been rumoured that he will be teaming up with Jathiratnalu fame Anudeep KV but the director is currently busy with his ongoing project with Siva Karthikeyan.

So, there are no chances of Venky's project hitting the floors anytime soon. Meanwhile, we now hear that the veteran actor is planning to play a key role in an upcoming film.

If the latest grapevine is anything to go by, Venkatesh will play the role of the God in Vishwak Sen's upcoming romantic comedy Ori Devuda. This film is an official remake of the Tamil super hit Oh My Kadavule.

Vijay Sethupathi essayed the role of God in the original version. Initially, it was rumoured that Nandamuri Balakrishna will reprise this role in the Telugu version. However, we now hear that Venkatesh will be doing that character.

It is reported that Venky accepted the role as the shoot of his part will get done in less than a week. An official confirmation about his inclusion is expected to be announced soon. Directed by Ashwin Marimuthu, Ori Devuda features Mithila Palkar as the female lead. Param P Potluri is bankrolling the project.
