Who is Sreenu Vaitla targeting in ‘Mister’?

Sreenu Vaitla's comedians are way too quirky and sometimes, they bear uncanny resemblances to real-life film personalities.  Brahmanandam's characterization in 'King', which got many speculate that it was fashioned after late music director Chakri, comes to one's mind.  In 'Baadshah', late MS Narayana's character spoke recklessly like Ram Gopal Varma.

In 'Mister', comedian Prudhvi is said to be playing a character named Lakshmi Tulasi.  Since 'Lakshmi' and 'Tulasi' are the titles of Venkatesh's movies, the grapevine has it that his character is actually a veiled parody of the actor.  While the portrayal is highly unlikely to be disrespectful, Prudhvi imitating Venky can't be ruled out.

If he does that and the comedy is healthy, Prudhvi is surely going to bring the house down!
