Venkatesh in Jackie Chan's role

From the past one or two projects, it is looking like senior star victory Venkatesh has been keen on experimenting with his image. After having done a good number of commercial movies and mass masala entertainer, Venky is now focusing on coming up with versatile roles.

Now, if all goes well, he might well be stepping into the shoes of Jackie Chan. Grapevine is that Venky's son has been insisting on remaking the Hollywood film 'The Karate Kid' which had Jackie Chan as the mentor and the kid star Jaden Smith as the lead. The film scored good success internationally.
However, sources close to Venky reveal that the star as a father is beaming with pride looking at the enthusiasm of his son but has made it clear that there is still a long time for the boy to get into films. For now, the idea looks appealing but materializing it into a product will take a while before Venky approves.
