Victory Venkatesh has a special standing among the four senior heroes Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, and Balakrishna in Tollywood. Venkatesh always gives importance to strong storylines setting aside his image. Though he made his entry as Movie Mogul Rama Naidu's son, he worked hard to become a successful hero.
But inside talk is Venkatesh's entry into films happened accidentally. Rama Naidu planned to turn both his sons into successful businessmen. He got them well educated in overseas. Suresh Babu after completing his higher education overseas established his own industry. But since it did not become successful, he started overseeing movie production responsibilities.
Rama Naidu planned to turn Venkatesh either as a film producer or an entrepreneur. So Venkatesh did MBA in the USA. His entry into films happened in a dramatic fashion. Rama Naidu and director Raghavendra Rao planned to do Kaliyuga Pandavulu with Super Star Krishna. Krishna recommended them to take ASR. Anjaneyulu as the coproducer for which Rama Naidu did not agree.
When Rama Naidu was looking for another hero, few close aides told him "Your second son is handsome and he suits for the role of the hero". Thus Venkatesh made his debut with Kaliyuga Pandavulu and the makers roped in Khushboo who was at that time was busy doing films in Hindi.
Kaliyuga Pandavulu turned out to be super hit and from then on he never looked back. Had Krishna did Kaliyuga Pandavulu, Venkatesh would have been a successful businessman or a producer.
