Victory Venkatesh quotes


    “I don’t believe that heroism comes from violence and fights. The heroism can also arise from sacrifice.”

    “I know that I have matured in age now and I am attempting those kinds of roles that suit my age.”

    “I just believing in doing my part with 100% conviction for any film I am offered. I am not affected by the result of success or failure. I have stopped playing the game long back. I am watching myself now.”

    “God Father is my all time favorite film. I do never get tired of watching it again and again.”

    “I think that life is a design and it is not in your hands. You are just part of it. We are constantly putting efforts to try something, but at the end of it you get what is designed by the fate.”
