Venkatesh is enjoying one of the strongest phases of his career.
His successful collaboration with director Anil Ravipudi has delivered a series of hits, with Sankranthiki Vasthunnam emerging as the biggest blockbuster of his career.
He also made a guest appearance in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which went on to become another successful venture.
The senior star is now close to completing the shoot of Trivikram’s Aadarsha Kutumbam. Following his recent success streak, Venkatesh reportedly received a major hike in remuneration for the film.
Industry buzz now suggests that producer Sahu Garapati has offered Venkatesh a career-best deal for Anil Ravipudi’s upcoming multi-starrer.
Venkatesh is reportedly being paid ₹25 crore as remuneration, along with a share in the film’s profits.
The film also stars Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty in key roles.
The lucrative deal places Venkatesh among the highest-paid senior Telugu stars, behind only Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna.
Meanwhile, Anil Ravipudi is also said to have entered the elite ₹25 crore remuneration club, underlining his strong box-office track record in recent years.
