With two HIT series films, Dr Sailesh Kolanu has proved his mettle as a director and naturally landed a coveted opportunity–#Venky75– as his third film. While he has been harping about how lucky he is to have directed the veteran in his 75th film in the numerous promotional interviews that he did for the film so far, on Wednesday he promised that “the last 20 minutes of Saindhav will remain as one of the best pieces of cinematic experiences anyone could have witnessed in their lives”.

“Just delivered the final domestic copies. Saindhav is yours now. I just wanted to share something with you and I am saying this with utmost humility and politeness. The last 20 minutes of #Saindhav will remain as one of the best pieces of cinematic experiences anyone could have witnessed in their lives and it’s just because of my man @VenkyMama,” Sailesh wrote on X.

Lauding Venky’s performance, he added, “To even think that I managed to capture one of the finest performances of such an unsurpassed actor is really overwhelming. I was wondering do I even deserve this much in life. You will know what I am talking about on 13th. See you in the theatres.”

An action drama, where Venky’s part races against time to procure a medicine Onasemnogene abeparvovec (each vial costs around Rs. 16.5 cr) to treat his daughter (played by Ssara Palekar) who is suffering from a neuromuscular disorder called Spinal Muscular Atrophy, while crossing paths with that of an arms dealer played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Saindhav storms into cinemas on January 13. It is a production venture of Venkat Boyanapalli under Niharika Entertainment, while Santosh Narayanan is the composer.
