For all those people who have been visiting Prasads all these years, Venkat is a very familiar face. Programming Manager of Prasads Venkat completed working in 30 film so far. An avid movie buff and a free lance actor, he considers himself lucky to be a part of the magnum opus Bahubali. “I come in the first half and also in some parts in the second half. It is a proud moment for all of us that the film is faring so well at the box office. We went to Kerala and shot for ten days at Kerala. Athirapally waterfalls is very famous. We would travel forty five to fifty kilometres to go to the forests from the place where we stayed. We would leave by 5 am and return  by 7 pm.”

Venkat says there are so many senior artistes in the industry, they need not have picked me for the role and I consider myself really lucky to portray Bahubali’s father in the film. In his 13 years of his career he has never seen such unprecedented rush and pressure for tickets. There is 100 percent occupancy on weekdays too.”
