Venkatesh fans incensed with actor’s portrayal in Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan : Bollywood News

While Salman Khan’s Eid release Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan (KKBKKJ) has opened to very mixed box office collections all over the country, in Andhra Pradesh the disappointment is mixed with anger for the way the iconic actor Venkatesh is presented in the plot.

“Venkatesh is a supporting actor in the film! His fans haven’t appreciated this one bit. In Andhra, Venkatesh’s fans presumed he would have an equal role to Salman. But Venkatesh makes his entry midway. And even then Salman takes all the credit for defeating the villains in the climax. You must understand Venkatesh comes from a family of distinguished actors in Telugu cinema. They won’t tolerate his being side-lined,” says a leading filmmaker from Andhra.

I gently remind him that perhaps Venkatesh got into this with his eyes wide open as a gesture of goodwill for producer-actor Salman Khan. “That maybe so. But you can’t serve me dry bread just because I readily agree to come to your house for dinner. The role had to match Venkatesh’s stature. Just why he agreed to do this, and that undignified lungi dance, is beyond comprehension,” says the angry filmmaker.
