Open letter of thanks to Venkatesh

A wise woman once said "People are like stained glass windows, they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only when there is light from within", and if you are reading this, I am very thankful to Mr.Jeevi and the IdleBrain team for publishing my letter on their site.

I am a good movie fan like you all. I have been watching all kinds of movies for many years. I have been an IB visitor for quite some time and I have always been reading various letters that people submit. Well coming to my very own letter I have observed that there have been open letters from fans to Chiru and Nag and Balakrishna and Pavan Kalyan, but I am very surprised not to find any on Venkatesh save for three by Ms.Rani, Ms.Bhargavi Chowdary, Mr.Venkat. But with due respect to them I believe that they have done terrible injustice to Venkatesh by not listing his achievements and merely mentioning the facts that they are his good fans. If I have missed out on any published letters, which were meant for Venkatesh, I apologize, but I would like to write anyways.

The first movie that I saw in my schooldays, which starred Venkatesh, was Sundarakanda, a good hilarious movie with an emotional touch and I was fascinated. The next movie that I saw was Swarnakamalam and I was quite amazed. Later on I started watching his movies frequently and I had found out, to my delight, that instead of acting in stereotyped roles like many other contemporary actors, he chose different roles. He not only chose different roles but also did justice to them all and proved over the years that he is a capable versatile actor.

Coming to the quote that I have written earlier, I have mentioned it because I think it is somewhat apt. If you ask why, I must say I really don't know but I feel while other actors always go by a consistent hit formula he is one of the few actors in the Telugu film industry who has dared to experiment with different roles and different themes. Also one must not forget that his movies are the ones that usually introduce new talent to the industry. Yet I am always surprised that he does not have a huge fan following or die hard fans like other prominent actors. He was, is, and will continue to be one of the best actors of our time and I am sure he will continue doing good movies like he has always done. I am eagerly waiting for his new movie Gharshana. Incidentally I have seen it's tamil version 'Kaakha Kaakha' and it was brilliant. I used to tell my friends that if they decide to remake 'Kaakha Kaakha' in Telugu the only actor who can do justice to the role is Venkatesh and I am very happy that he is the one who's actually doing the remake in Telugu. I am sure it will be a big hit and will be liked by almost everyone.

Venkatesh, Sir, if you are reading this letter, I would like to thank you on behalf of myself and all my friends who like you, for all those wonderful movies that you have acted in and given us. You are a good actor and I sincerely hope you'll continue your good work. I can honestly say that whenever I am feeling down I can pop in your movie 'Sundarakanda' to cheer my selves and to lift my spirits up, whenever I am feeling naughty I can pop in your movie 'Nuvvu Naaku Nachav' and amuse myself, whenever I feel like watching a classic I can pop in your movie 'Swarnakamalam' and feel good about it. You might not have a huge mass following or maybe your fans are not as vocal as others but everyone likes you and your movies and of that I am very sure.

From the guy next door trying to help a reluctant girl realize her true talents in 'Swarnakamalam', an avenging young lawyer in 'Sathruvu', an honest cop in 'Surya IPS', a thief saving a damsel in distress in 'Kshana Kshanam', an innocent servant in 'Chanti', a funny teacher with a conscience in 'Sundarakanda', a good husband stuck with two wives in 'Intlo Illalu Vantintlo Priyuralu', a good Samaritan saving a wronged girl from the society in 'Pavithra Bandham', a guy who gets his girl against all odds in 'Preminchukundam Ra', a witty boy in 'Nuvvu Naaku Nachav', to the desperate banker in 'Malleswari', it has been a wonderful and enriching journey for you and entertaining for us. I wish you good luck for your next movie 'Gharshana'.

Thank you once again.
Abhilasha.
