Versatile actress Revathi is making her comeback as a director with Salaam Venky after 18 long years. The film which released on December 9 is getting good reviews from all quarters. In the midst of all this, Mega Star Chiranjeevi enjoyed Salaam Venkay and congratulated the film's cast and crew.

Sharing his feelings, Chiranjeevi posted "Kudos to Revathi for her conviction and brilliance in making Salaam Venky, the true story of a Young Chess player's struggle with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a rare disorder. Hearing great things about how the fantastic Kajol, my brother Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Rahul Bose, & the wonderful Vishal Jethwa delivered superb performances. More power to you Revathi! You inspire all directors & women directors even more with such courageous & relevant stories. Also, congrats to my dear friend Aamir Khan for being a part of this brave attempt.”

The film starred Aamir Khan in a powerful cameo while Kajol and Vishal Jethawa played the lead roles. The film starred  Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Aahana Kumra, Rahul Bose, Rajeev Khandelwal, and Anant Mahadevan in key roles. The film is inspired by  Kolavennu Venkatesh, who had been diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Chiranjeevi speaking about Kolavennu Venkatesh said “Lastly, very moved to recall that I had met the real life Venky fleetingly, years ago at the Apollo hospital before he succumbed to this disorder. Heartened to know he was my admirer. Do watch this emotionally charged tale of the triumph of human spirit."
