Venkatesh's 75th movie 'Saindhav' went on the floors on Friday. Director Sailesh Kolanu was more than delighted to share that the movie marks the Tollywood debut of Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

The 'HIT 2' director is elated about roping in the acclaimed Bollywood artist. "It’s not just a tribute. I feel one of the reasons why I became a filmmaker is that I am destined to do this for him. Will put in my blood and sweat to make him and his fans proud," Kolanu today tweeted. His post proves that he is a huge admirer of the versatile artist.

The scenes involving Siddiqui and Venkatesh are expected to impress the pan-India audience.
