CM YS Jagan Key Comments On Special Status In NITI Aayog Meeting With PM Modi

Venkatesh is currently experiencing an exceptional phase in his career, riding the wave of back-to-back Sankranthi successes. His 2025 festive release, Sankranthiki Vastunnam, emerged as a major hit, reconnecting him strongly with family audiences. This momentum carried over into Sankranthi 2026 with Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, where even a limited role created significant buzz.

These consecutive holiday hits have firmly re-established Venkatesh as one of the most dependable stars for festival releases. His winning streak has also had a direct impact on his remuneration. Before Sankranthiki Vastunnam, he was reportedly charging around ₹10 crore per film. However, for Trivikram Srinivas’ Aadarsha Kutumbam House No:47, he commanded a substantially higher fee of ₹20 crore, marking a major jump.

Interestingly, for his guest appearance in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Venkatesh charged ₹15 crore, reflecting how his Sankranthi successes have significantly boosted his market value and demand.
