Prashanth Karthi Wins Praise for His Performance as Venkat in Pothugadda
Actor Prashanth Karthi is earning widespread appreciation for his role as Venkat in the recently released film Pothugadda. The film, produced by Anupama Chandra Koduri and Dr. G. Sharath Chandra Reddy under the 24 Cinema Street banner, features Prithvi Dandamudi, Vismaya Sri, Prashanth Karthi, Shatru, and Naren in key roles. Directed by Raksha Veeram, Pothugadda premiered on ETV Win and has been receiving a positive response.
Prashanth Karthi, who portrays a layered character in the film, shared his excitement about the love his role is getting from the audience.
Prashanth revealed an interesting backstory about how he landed the role. "I got this opportunity through cameraman Rahul. Initially, I was asked to grow a thick beard and long hair for the role, which I did. But due to certain reasons, I had to cut my hair midway. I thought I had lost the role, but then director Raksha Veeram called me. After seeing my natural look, he liked it and decided to go with it. That’s how I became Venkat in Pothugadda."
Talking about his character, Prashanth said, "Venkat has different shades that unfold at the beginning and the end of the film. I loved this contrast, which is why I immediately agreed to do the role. The audience has really appreciated this variation, and I’ve received great feedback from many people, including Chandra Siddharth and Chandrashekar Yeleti. Their compliments mean a lot to me."
The actor also shared his experience of working on the film. "We shot entirely at night, during the winter season. Despite the cold, we never faced any discomfort because our producer Anupama and director Raksha took excellent care of the team. The entire cast and crew worked like a family, making the shoot a truly enjoyable experience. The music by Shravan Bhardwaj and the background score by Marcus have also played a big role in elevating the film’s impact."
Describing Pothugadda, Prashanth said, "The film has action, emotions, and a beautiful love story. Though the plot is centered around politics, it also captures romance in a compelling way. There are no dull moments, and it keeps the audience engaged throughout."
Looking ahead, Prashanth is gearing up for an intense action film set in the backdrop of Rayalaseema. "I’ll reveal more details soon," he teased. "Apart from that, I have multiple projects in the discussion stage."
With Pothugadda earning him recognition, Prashanth Karthi is undoubtedly an actor to watch out for in the industry.
