For those missing out Venkatesh in action oriented roles, here comes the good news. The actor has started shooting for "Shadow", a high voltage action flick to be directed by Meher Ramesh. Tapasee Pannu is the lead actress.

Paruchuri Prasad has reportedly paid a whopping amount as remuneration for not just Venkatesh, but also to writers Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan, since he wanted that the script should be strong, gripping and free of loopholes.

Speaking at the launch of the movie, Prasad said, 'The stills speak a lot about the movie. It will be a stylish flick and will add new dimension to Venkatesh. I am happy to produce this movie.'

Meher Ramesh said, 'The film will be a complete treat to Venkatesh fans'. Tapsee said, 'It is a great opportunity to work with a top star like Venkatesh. I am so happy and I have got to play a very interesting role.'
