Venky Kudumula

Venky Kudumula’s track record? Wildly unpredictable in the best way. With “Bheeshma” (2020), he spun this wacky rom-com about a guy who accidentally becomes the CEO of an organic farming company—yeah, you read that right. It’s got memes, one-liners, and Rashmika Mandanna basically owning every scene. Before that, “Chalo” (2018) had Naga Shaurya dragged into a town obsessed with their own North-vs-South rivalry. The whole film’s a riot, with tongue-in-cheek humor and a love story that’s anything but boring. Kudumula just doesn’t do “normal.” And as for “Robinhood” (2025)? Not out yet, but people are already buzzing. The rumor mill’s churning about how it’s gonna be a quirky heist flick with his signature offbeat style. If his past work’s anything to go by, expect a mash-up of comedy, action, and a script that zigs when you expect it to zag. The guy’s got this knack for mixing slapstick with sharp dialogue, tossing in oddball characters who end up weirdly relatable. He somehow keeps things breezy but never shallow. Kudumula’s films are like that friend who’s always up for an adventure, never quite following the script, but somehow landing on their feet every single time. If you’re into Telugu films that don’t take themselves too seriously but still manage to surprise you, yeah, he’s your guy.
