Venkatesh is known for making decisions based on market conditions without burdening producers. He can earn additional profits through dubbing rights and other deals if he does a mass entertainer. Given the industry trends, it wouldn’t be surprising if he starts charging ₹25 crores for his upcoming films.
Talks are underway for Venkatesh’s next film, though details about the director and production house are yet to be revealed. His movies generally have a budget between ₹30-50 crores. He might step into ₹100-crore projects if he capitalizes on this blockbuster.
With several Tollywood actors aiming for pan-India success, Venkatesh might also expand his market. Leading production houses are showing interest in working with him, and it will be interesting to see how he utilizes this success to grow his career.
