Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Venky helped cement the 'cop comedy' subgenre in Telugu cinema that Dookudu later perfected. Sreenu Vaitla essentially patented this formula.
The train sequence was filmed on actual running trains with minimal safety rigging — Ravi Teja performed his own stunts for the fight scenes, which reportedly terrified the producers.
