Victory Venkatesh who romanced many beautiful heroines had narrowly missed romancing former Miss World. Venkatesh scored a hit romancing Anjala Jhaveri in Preminchukundam Raa under the direction of Jayanth C Paranjee in 1997.
Anjala after her debut romancing Venkatesh in Preminchukundam Raa went on to romance Mega Star Chiranjeevi, King Nagarjuna and Natasimha Balakrishna. Inside talk is the makers of Preminchukundam Raa first planned to cast Miss World Aishwarya Rai opposite Venkatesh.
But the makers rejected Aishwarya Rai as she was not popular at that time and also got two flops in Bollywood. The role eventually went to Anjala Jhaveri who gave sleepless nights with her innocent looks and red hot beauty treat in the film. Venkatesh, however, did not miss romancing Bollywood top actress Katrina Kaif during her initial days. In fact, he gave the blockbuster in the form of Malliswari in Tollywood. From then on Katrina never looked back and went on to become the top Bollywood star.
