Who is Venkitesh? With Gowtam Tinnanuri’s Vijay Deverakonda-starring film Kingdom, which opens in theaters on July 31, Malayalam actor Venkitesh is ready to make his Telugu film debut. The Keralan actor wowed everyone with his Telugu speech at the movie’s pre-release ceremony in Hyderabad on Monday night, declaring that he wanted to be a star. Learn everything there is to know about the actor who owns a food truck in Trivandrum, Kerala.

Venkitesh Career from TV to Film Star:
Speaking about his modest origins, Venkitesh remarked at the pre-release event, “This is the first time I’ve seen such a large crowd.” This is the moment I’ve always dreamed of. I started in the Malayalam sector as a background artist for TV shows and movies, progressed to a small-scale artist with one or two phrases, portrayed a villain in a Tamil movie, and now I’m at Kingdom. It took me nine years.”

“I am so proud of myself,” he said at the ceremony, adding that he would love to perform lead roles and become a star someday. I wish to collaborate with Sithara Entertainments once more, but as a hero this time. All I want is to become a star someday. Please give me some thought, producers and directors. I’m acting this way because I’m excited. Please give me a round of applause for my introduction. He declared during the event that he would like to dedicate Kingdom to his mother, Tara, and that he is a self-described fan of Rajinikanth. The Priest, a 2021 Malayalam film starring Mammootty, Rebel, a 2024 Tamil film starring GV Prakash Kumar, and other films have featured Venkitesh.

Venkitesh’s Famous Idli Food Truck:
People discovered that Venkitesh was more than simply an actor as social media users shared videos of his assured speech at Kingdom’s pre-release event. He also managed a street food truck called Suda Suda Idli with his pals, which he began in 2024.

“For the Telugu people who don’t know him, he came from a TV reality show & then runs a street food idly kada at Trivandrum now,” one X (previously Twitter) user commented, sharing videos recorded by several influencers at the food truck. There, he continues to make and serve people. A true inspiration for all.” The food truck is operated by Venkitesh and his friends from 7:25 PM to 10 PM, Tuesday through Sunday.
