Chiranjeevi’s note for the team of ‘Salaam Venky’ read, “Kudos to Revathy for her conviction and brilliance in making Salaam Venky, the true story of a Young Chess player’s struggle with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), a rare disorder. Hearing great things about how the fantastic Kajol, my brother Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Rahul Bose, & the wonderful Vishal Jethwa delivered superb performances. More power to you Revathy! You inspire all directors & women directors even more with such courageous & relevant stories. Also, congrats to my dear friend Aamir Khan for being a part of this brave attempt.”
‘Salaam Venky’ is based on the real life story of Kolavennu Venkatesh, who had been diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Recalling his meeting with the boy, Chiranjeevi added, “Lastly, very moved to recall that I had met the real life Venky fleetingly, years ago at the Apollo hospital before he succumbed to this disorder. Heartened to know he was my admirer. Do watch this emotionally charged tale of the triumph of human spirit.”
