For years together, senior actor Suman has been seen as the lord Venkateswara in our films. Since the time of Annamayya, we haven’t really had another actor do the honours and play that character. But looks like Saurabh Jain’s experience in the various avatars of Maha Vishnu – he has played Vishnu, Krishna and even Rama briefly – has given him the edge over several others considered for the role.
The TV actor has been roped in to play lord Venkateswara in K Raghavendra Rao’s upcoming film, the biopic of the famed devotee of the lord of the seven hills, Baba Hathiram.
