Venkatesh made his debut on the OTT platform with the web series "Rana Naidu," which premiered on Netflix.
The seasoned actor, widely appreciated by family audiences, surprised everyone with the series' explicit content and excessive use of expletives.
While the web series garnered considerable attention and gained popularity among the younger audience, it faced a negative reaction from the average Telugu viewer. Families, in particular, criticized Venkatesh for the use of unfiltered expletives.
Responding to a question about the second season of "Rana Naidu" at a song launch event for “Saindhav” at a college, Venkatesh mentioned that it is set to commence next year and will feature "family-friendly" content.
"It will not have extremely explicit content, a little restrained, a little moderate," he added.
