Biography
Venu started his career with the movie Swayamvaram. Unlike most of the new comers who take time in establishing themselves, Venu bagged Nandi Award for that movie. This tall and handsome hero went on to win the hearts of Telugu film audience with his ease in dialogue delivery, timing, expressions and clear portray of his emotions.

Though Venu became a hero with Swayamvaram, his first film was with Barathiraja which stalled after a brief period of shooting. Venu is the nephew of ace director B.Gopal. It is interesting to know that he is launched by a group of his friends rather than his contacts with the movie world. Venu, Shyamprasad, sai and Prabhu are friends during their Engineering at Dharwad Engineering college. It is Venu's dream to become a hero. He tried with lot of directors and producers for a role. He got a chance to work with Barathiraja. However, the movie was stalled. So the friends decided to work things out on their own. S.P.Entertainments banner is formed for the same. Venkata Shyamprasad started this banner to launch venu as hero. The other two friends are part of the design and planning team. That's how Swayamvaram happened for Venu.

Venu won the boxoffice once again with Chirunavvutho. G.Ramprasad, who earlier worked with B.Gopal as an assistant director is roped in to work with Venu for Chirunavvutho. This movie is again produced by S.P.Entertainments. Chirunavvutho is one of the milestones in Venu's career. Music by Manisharma also proved to be a big hit.

Having two good hits in the early stages of his career, Venu landed up with a bunch of offers. Though some of the movies failed at box office, his latest Hanuman Junction and Pellam Vurelthe proved hits at the box office.
