"My love for comedy is immeasurable. According to me, my films have to be sure shot entertainers. Hence, comedy becomes an inevitable part. I think that's the secret to appeal to the masses," Venkatesh told IANS.

"My films usually are a mix of action, comedy and romance. It's for the first time I've tried my hands at a full-length comedy film and the experience has been enriching," he said.

"Romba Nallavan Da Nee", a comedy-thriller, revolves around two strangers and what happens when their lives cross paths.
