Venkatesh, who scored a massive hit with Sankranthiki Vasthunam this year, is gearing up for a packed 2026 with multiple exciting projects. After a short break post the film’s success, Venkatesh has signed on for three major films that will keep him busy for the coming months.

New Collaborations and Projects

The first project in Venkatesh’s lineup is a family entertainer in collaboration with Trivikram, one of the most sought-after filmmakers in the industry. The film, which starts shooting this month, will feature a long schedule, promising a significant release in 2026.

Venkatesh is set to appear in an extended cameo in Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. The actor has allotted his dates for October for this much-anticipated collaboration with the megastar.

Drishyam 3 – The Big Sequel

Another major project for Venkatesh is the much-awaited Drishyam 3, the third installment in the highly successful Drishyam series. While the Malayalam version of the film is set to begin filming in October, the Telugu version, featuring Venkatesh, will begin its shoot in November. Fans of the franchise are eagerly anticipating the return of this gripping family drama.

Venkatesh's Active 2026 and Increased Remuneration

With these three high-profile projects, Venkatesh is expected to be active throughout 2026, with each film set for release in the same year. Following the success of Sankranthiki Vasthunam, the actor has also reportedly increased his remuneration, signaling his growing influence in the industry. As Venkatesh continues to build a solid slate of films, all eyes will be on his performances and the success of his upcoming ventures, especially with his involvement in major projects like Drishyam 3 and the collaboration with Trivikram.
