Venkat's daughter further shared that nobody in the family can donate a kidney, and they are unable to find a donor as well. So she requested Chiranjeevi, Allu Arjun, Pawan Kalyan and Jr NTR to help them find a donor for her father. "He has worked in such good films with all of them. No one seems to care about him now. I request everyone to please help my father," she added.

Who is Fish Venkat?

Venkat strongly speaks in the Telangana dialect, which is reminiscent of fishermen, thus earning him the name 'Fish' Venkat. He mainly plays negative and comedic roles in films, such as Sammakka Sarakka, Devudu Chesina Manushulu, DJ Tillu and Inttelligent.
