Creative filmmaker Ravi Babu, known for carving his own path in Telugu cinema with films across comedy, horror, and crime thriller genres, has once again made headlines, not just for his movies but for his outspoken views. During the promotion of his latest film, Razor, several of his bold statements have gone viral.
On Theatrical Experience Becoming Costly
Ravi Babu expressed concern about how cinema is slowly becoming inaccessible to the common man. He remarked that for a middle-class family to enjoy a movie at a multiplex, spending nearly ₹3,000 is “a stupid practice.” He questioned how people earning ₹20,000–₹30,000 per month could afford to watch films regularly under such circumstances. He added that the industry itself is gradually distancing the common audience from the theatrical experience, a comment that sparked wide discussion online.
On Promotions & Pre-Release Events
The director also criticized the current trend of over-the-top promotions. He stated that tactics like announcing a teaser, then a pre-teaser, followed by an announcement for the pre-teaser, and even an announcement for the announcement of an update, do not impress him. He bluntly called such strategies “trash,” saying they fail to add real value to the film.
The Buzz
Ravi Babu’s straightforward comments have gone viral, with many agreeing that his observations reflect the growing frustration among audiences. Whether one agrees or not, his fearless approach to speaking his mind has once again ensured that he remains one of the most talked-about filmmakers in Tollywood.
