After a string of successful festival hits, acclaimed director Anil Ravipudi is already gearing up for his milestone tenth film, securing its place for the Sankranti season well ahead of time. This exciting new project will feature the talents of Victory Venkatesh alongside renowned Malayalam actor Fahadh Faasil.
In a strategic move, Ravipudi aims to finalize all non-theatrical rights before the film begins production. This approach ensures that the producers can effortlessly navigate the complexities of securing OTT distribution deals, which can often be a hurdle for new films. Therefore, the official launch of this eagerly awaited multi-starrer is expected to happen in the near future, once everything is in place.
Simultaneously, Ravipudi is diligently working to assemble an impressive cast and crew for this venture. True to his style, he is focusing on selecting female leads who can significantly elevate the film's appeal. After considering numerous options, it appears that three actresses have been confirmed to star alongside the male leads.
According to insiders familiar with the project, Keerthi Suresh, Pooja Hegde, and Ashika Ranganathan have been finalized for key roles. Keerthi Suresh and Pooja Hegde will share the screen with Venkatesh, while Ashika is set to star opposite Fahadh, adding to the film’s excitement.
In Ravipudi’s previous films like "Sankranti ki Vastunnam" and "Mana Shankar Vara Prasad Garu," the leading ladies played vital roles within the storyline. The director has a unique ability to craft engaging narratives around his main characters without overly relying on comedic relief. This talent often results in the female leads receiving considerable praise from both audiences and critics alike.
Keerthi Suresh, who is actively seeking a breakthrough in Tollywood, is fortunate to land this pivotal role. Pooja Hegde is also eager to make a powerful return to Telugu cinema; she previously appeared in a special song for "F3" and is now thrilled to take on a substantial role from Ravipudi. Furthermore, Ashika has caught the public’s attention with her captivating performance in Ravi Teja’s film, "Bhartha Mahasayalaku Wignyapthi."
With the collaboration of two prominent male actors and three talented heroines, anticipation is high for what Ravipudi has planned. He seems poised to stick to his proven formula, promising yet another delightful entertainer just in time for the Sankranti festivities.
