Asuran charts the story of a Dalit man avenging the death of his family members, who turn victims of caste-based violence in a village.
Venkatesh, who’ll soon be donning the character in the Telugu version of Asuran, had earlier featured in several remakes of Tamil films including Irudhi Sutturu, Kaakha Kaakha, Gemini and Suryavamsam among others. The actor is currently filming for his ‘Venky Mama’ which is slated to hit the theatres soon. Directed by KS Ravindra, the family entertainer also stars Naga Chaitanya and is among the much-awaited Telugu releases. Venkatesh will also be working with director Tharun Bhascker of ‘Pelli Choopulu’ fame for what is touted to be an action-comedy film.
