Ace actor Victory Venkatesh has appeared in a social message-giving ad brought out by Teenage Foundation. Coming with an anti-peer pressure theme in the matters of alcoholism, drug addiction, etc.

In the 75-second video, Venky is seen urging teenagers to keep themselves away from peer pressure. His message is interspersed with visuals of teenagers falling prey to bad habits in the wrongful company of misguided friends. "You don`t want to disappoint your friends, but at what cost? If you could only say 'NO'. It doesn`t matter what others think of you. It doesn`t matter if you are left out. It doesn`t matter if your friends leave you. What matters is YOU, YOUR LIFE," Venky says.

"Teenage Foundation is grateful to film actor Venkatesh for lending his awesome screen presence to speak about Peer Pressure in the video. The video is called Peer Pressure and has visuals depicting how young teens get influenced and carried away into doing wrong things and destroy themselves. Venky has a strong and impactful message for the youngsters," the Foundation has said in a statement.

The same has been written and directed by Jennifer Alphonsse.
