Venky starts side business for time pass.

One might wonder how a busy hero like Venkatesh is getting too much of time watching the IPL matches and spending with family members. As the deadlock between producers and heroes regarding the cutting of remunerations has not been resolved, Venkatesh has no project in hand till ‘Chandramukhi 2’ goes onto the sets.

To make himself busy and just for passing the time; Venkatesh from now on will be appearing on bill boards, TV commercials and news paper advertisements as he has endorsed the famous Mannapuram brand.

Looking at the reputation of Manappuram Finance and Leasing with its offices in 15 states Venkatesh accepted the offer to become their ambassador for Andhra Pradesh. While Malayalam super star Mohan Lal endorses the brand in Kerala, Kannada Power Star Puneet Rajkumar endorses it in Karnataka.

This would be the first time that Venkatesh has endorsed a product following Chiru, Mahesh Babu, Ramcharan, Allu Arjun, Nagarjuna.
