Kona Venkat On Geethanjali 2 And Project With Sree Vishnu

Kona Venkat on Geethanjali 2, project with Sree Vishnu. Kona Venkat is renowned for his his creative writing and rib tickling comedy. In between he became stale as he tried to churn out similar comedy tracks like Dookudu and Badshah. But he quickly changed track and came back to reckoning.

Speaking to scribes, Kona Venkat shared the details of his future projects. On the criticism that his brand of comedy became stale, he said "Some critics tore me apart for repetitive comedy. Even though our so called ‘bakra’ comedy involving ace comedian Brahmanandam shattered box office records starting from ‘Dhee’ to "Badshah’. I changed my style and wrote a new age love story ‘Ninnu Kori’ which spun box office magic without my patent comedy track. I silenced my detractors by proving that I can dabble with different genres."

On the competition from young writers, he shared " Frankly no. Because I have built my own brand and established my credentials and sensibilities with big stars and viewers too. It could be Hollywood or Tollywood, but human relationships and emotions are almost the same. New age audience wants emotional bondings to be conveyed subtlety avoiding old style melodrama. So, in ‘Waltair Veerayya’, we narrated the brotherhood of Chiranjeevi and Ravi Teja in a non-linear fashion with a modern tweak and it paid off. I am game for novel storytelling styles."

Sharing his thoughts on the success of Samajavaragamana which starred Sree Vishnu,he said "It is a fact that Telugu audiences have begun to patronize laugh-riots but it should be situational rather than slapstick. I am planning a rib-tickler with actor Sree Vishnu, which would leave the audience in splits. I also showed a new way in horror comedy with ‘Geetanjali’ and I am making its sequel very soon. I am introducing two directors and I wish to continue this habit of encouraging young talents which makes me feel happy within."
