Anil Ravipudi Confirms New Film Starring Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram
Exciting News from Director Anil Ravipudi
After much anticipation, director Anil Ravipudi has officially dispelled the rumors surrounding his next project. He has confirmed that Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, the lead from his debut film Pataas, will star alongside veteran actor Venkatesh in this untitled film. This announcement comes amidst various speculations about the cast and production details. The film is set to begin production this year, with a release anticipated in early next year. Here’s what we know about the producer involved in this venture.
Details on the Upcoming Film: Cast and Release Plans
The untitled project is expected to commence filming in June, with plans for a grand release during Sankranthi 2027, a time that has historically been profitable for the director. Currently, Venkatesh is engaged in shooting a film directed by Trivikram Srinivas, which is expected to conclude by June and is slated for an October release this year.
Following the completion of his current project, Venkatesh will join Anil Ravipudi’s film. Notably, the announcement was made by the director rather than a production company. Reports indicate that either Dil Raju or Suresh Babu may be the producers backing this film.
Speculations Surrounding the Film's Cast
Prior to the official confirmation, various actors were rumored to be part of the film. Initial reports mentioned Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil as a potential cast member, but it was later suggested that issues regarding remuneration led to his withdrawal. There were also claims that Karthi might join the project. In response to these rumors, Anil Ravipudi urged fans and media to refrain from spreading unverified information.
It’s worth noting that Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi have previously collaborated on successful films like F2: Fun and Frustration and F3: Fun and Frustration, both of which were box office hits. Additionally, Venkatesh made a cameo in Chiranjeevi's Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which was another successful project for the director.
Anil Ravipudi’s recent blockbuster, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, featured megastar Chiranjeevi alongside Nayanthara and was released during Sankranthi, becoming one of the biggest hits in recent Telugu cinema.
