Telugu cinema fans woke up to a delightful Independence Day surprise as superstar Venkatesh Daggubati dropped the first mahurat pictures from his upcoming film with ace director Trivikram Srinivas. Captioned “#VenkateshXTrivikram, This one is special”, the early morning X (formerly Twitter) post sent fans into a frenzy—officially confirming the much-anticipated project titled #Venky77.
The photos show a traditional launch ceremony with all the right vibes: sacred flames, garlands, and smiles all around. Also spotted were producer S. Radha Krishna (Chinababu), Vamsi, and the core team from Haarika & Hassine Creations, signaling a project that's heavy on both talent and tradition. The announcement aligns with a Times of India report from June 25, confirming the film’s shoot kicks off this August.
This collaboration is big—and not just because of star power. Venkatesh, with a 37-year career and six Filmfare Awards to his name, has mastered everything from family dramas to action comedies. Pair him with Trivikram, the mind behind emotionally rich scripts like Nuvve Kavali and Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, and you’ve got the perfect blend of mass and class.
Interestingly, fans see #Venky77 as a full-circle moment—possibly evoking the charm of their early 2000s blockbuster Nuvvu Naaku Nachav. With Trivikram’s last outing Guntur Kaaram underwhelming at the box office, this film might mark a return to emotional storytelling grounded in Telugu cultural ethos, boosted by Venkatesh’s evergreen appeal.
Whether it’s nostalgia or new magic, #Venky77 is shaping up to be a special cinematic moment—just as Venkatesh promised.
