Jagapathi Babu, and Saurabh Raj Jain in a supporting role.

Technical Team Performances:

Which begins with a devotee and ends with his devotional approach towards Lord Balaji at Tirumala in 1500 B.C. Om Namo Venkatesaya is emotionally not on par with Annamayya, but a must watch for devotees and a decent watch for all. Production values are good. The music has been composed by M. M. Keeravani. The movie has good songs and the background music mesmerises you and take you to the feel. After leaving the theatre you will think about Nagarjuna for his outstanding performance in the role of Hathiram Baba.

Plus Points:

Nagarjuna performance
Saurabh Raj Jain and Anushka Shetty performance
Cinematography
Feel of the Good Old Cinema
