Venky, Varun as hen-pecked husbands

In the teaser of Anil Ravipudi’s upcoming Telugu comedy ‘F2’, Venkatesh and Varun Tej play two men who are deeply troubled by marital discords. “When we talk of history, we define it in terms of before and after Christ,” cries Venkatesh’s character as the teaser opens. “But when we talk of men, we have to define them as before and after marriage.”

For both protagonists, matrimony seems to be marked by frustration and chaos, and their wives (played by Tamannaah and Mehreen Pirzada) are shown to be argumentative and demanding. The plight is shared by all of mankind, the teaser suggests. The comic caper’s title, ‘F2’, stands for “Fun and frustration”. The film is slated for release in January.  

Nonetheless, Venkatesh who celebrated his birthday on Thursday has become the torch-bearer of multi-starrers in T-town. The actor, who is known for his flair for comedy, shared screen space with the likes of Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu.  Now, he is working with the new-age star, Varun Tej, to keep the two-hero movies alive and kicking.
