Blockbuster director Anil Ravipudi has surprised everyone with the announcement of his next film. Although it was almost confirmed that his upcoming project would be with Venkatesh Daggubati, there were strong rumors that actors like Fahadh Faasil and Karthi were being considered for an equally important role alongside the hero. However, turning all expectations upside down, Ravipudi has officially finalized Nandamuri Kalyan Ram for that powerful role.
Anil Ravipudi recently delivered a massive blockbuster with Mana Shankara Varaprasad, starring Chiranjeevi in the lead. The film collected over ₹300 crores at the box office and created new records in regional cinema. With this, Ravipudi scored his ninth consecutive hit, further strengthening his successful track record. Naturally, there has been huge curiosity about what he would do next.
Fans were eagerly waiting to know which hero he would work with and what kind of content he would bring this time. Now, putting an end to the speculation, Anil Ravipudi has made an official announcement about his next project.
For this film, he is bringing together two major stars once again. One is Venkatesh, who gave him his first ₹100 crore blockbuster, and the other is Kalyan Ram, the actor who gave him his first opportunity as a director with Pataas (2015). Ravipudi is set to direct a crazy multi-starrer featuring both these stars.
To share the news, the director also released a special announcement video. He revealed that the film will hit the screens during the festive season once again. As mentioned in the video, the movie is being planned for a grand release during Sankranti 2027. It looks like Anil Ravipudi is gearing up to begin 2027 with yet another blockbuster.
Many netizens have expressed their surprise, saying they never expected this combination. Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram together is being called a crazy combo, and Sankranti releases have always worked like magic for Anil Ravipudi. Fans are already commenting that another blockbuster is almost confirmed.
The film’s shooting is expected to begin soon.
