The horse riding sequences in Magadheera and later in Baahubali are making our senior heroes don similar roles, and a chance to ride a horse at least once. For his latest movie that will be directed by Tarun Bhaskar which has horse racing as the backdrop, senior hero Venkatesh is said to be practising horse riding now.
However, insiders stated that Venkatesh is taking a risk with his health as his knee injury might reoccur if he continues doing these stunts on horses. Though there are only couple of horse riding sequences, provided with the fact that Venky got injured during Venky Mama shooting which led to acute knee pain, his well-wishers are advising him to avoid such stunts. But Sye Raa and Satakarni effect is so huge that Venky wants to do the riding.
Instead, they are asking him to go for VFX, like how Kangana Ranaut has ridden horses in the war sequences of Manikarnika, where the person will be made to sit on a prototype of a horse which simulates a riding effect, but actually attached to a trolley that will be pulled by a cable attached car.
