In an overly competitive arena like Tollywood, an actor’s survival graph is dependent on many factors. Even if the actor has right launchpad, family backing and good script- without luck it is nearly impossible to sustain! Celebrity family heroes like Dasari Arun Kumar, Brahmanandam’s son Raja Gautham couldn’t fit in the terrific competition and reach the audience’s expectations. Another such hero who falls under this category is Rahul Venkat- the nephew of Megastar Chiranjeevi.
This actor made his debut with Alias Janaki which had a good script and storyline but he couldn’t match the audience’s expectation levels from a Mega hero. Naturally, the actor was disappointed but became unnerved. He decided to try his luck in Kollywood not as a hero but as a villain! There are ample examples in our film world where aspiring actors were first noticed as villains and then reaching stardom! In fact, Chiranjeevi himself began his career in this manner!
Rahul Venkat can be seen as a villain in Tamil flick Thaakka Thaakka and his presence as a villain looks quite promising going by the trailer!
