Venkatesh Daggubati and Varun Tej reunites for F4
Venkatesh Daggubati and Varun Tej Konidela appeared together on the screen back in 2019 for their film F2: Fun and Frustration. The comedy movie was written and directed by Anil Ravipudi with Tamannaah Bhatia and Mehreen Pirzada playing the female leads.
The first film focuses on two married men who are trying to regain control of their lives from their respective dominating wives. However, their chauvinistic attitude and actions that follow land them in troubling yet funny moments.
The movie was a commercial success even getting generally positive reviews from critics. This laid the foundation for the standalone sequel in the franchise which was titled, F3: Fun and Frustration in 2022. The second installment retained the main four leads.
The sequel movie directed by Anil himself, focuses on two men who want to marry into a rich family for a lavish life. However, things take a wild turn when they realize their respective brides are not wealthy but are also greedy for money. The movie was also a commercial success.
