Guru knocks outs his opponents
Seasoned star Venkatesh silenced his detractors as his sports-centric drama “Guru’ emerged winner at the box-office. The 50-year-old star is known for his flair for comedy, went in for a complete makeover and beefed up physique and grew beard to fit into the role of a brooding boxing coach.
Seasoned star Venkatesh silenced his detractors as his sports-centric drama “Guru’ emerged winner at the box-office. The 50-year-old star is known for his flair for comedy, went in for a complete makeover and beefed up physique and grew beard to fit into the role of a brooding boxing coach.
The over-the-top coach discovers boxing skills in a rustic fish vendor (Ritika Singh) and transforms her into a champion with stern and understated training. “Venkatesh performance is one of the USP’s of the film and the sports-centric drama is drawing crowds in major cities like Vizag,
Hyderabad, Vijayawada and it doing well in urban centres and multiplexes,” says distributor Bharat Bhushan. Even earlier, Venkatesh tried to do an off-beat film “Eenadu” but it tanked at the box-office. After films like `Sye’ and `Kabbadi Kabbadi’ another sports-centric drama has struck a chord with Telugu audience. Hope Venkatesh will do experimental films, in the days to come by.
