Venkatesh with Salman's Girlfriend

Hyderabad July 03 : Pictures of Venkatesh Daggubati and Salman Khan's rumoured girlfriend, Iulia Vantur, getting into the same car outside a Mumbai spa sent us into a tizzy yesterday. On digging deeper, we found out that the Tollywood superstar was there to explore possibilities of acting in a Bollywood film.

A source says, "Venky is interested to do a Hindi film and is in Mumbai for legwork. It is too premature to talk about what he's working on since it is merely in the stage of discussion. If all goes to plan, something could materialise soon". In April this year, Venky had dropped hints about an impending collaboration with Salman in an interview. Saying that the Dabangg star was like his "younger brother", he admitted to having had discussions about working on a Hindi film together. The duo had, in fact, planned something, but it didn't materialise owing to their other professional commitments. Venky's Hindi movie repertoire includes Anari (1993) with Karisma Kapoor and Taqdeerwala (1995) with Raveena Tandon.

We aren't sure if Venkatesh is in talks to act in a Salman-starrrer but being spotted with Iulia does make one wonder if the Romanian actress-singer will make her acting debut with this project, as is being speculated.
