By: Shanaz B Syed | 30 Jan 2026 3:25 PM ISTAce director Anil Ravipudi, who has scored it mightily with a ₹350+ crores success at the Box Office with Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu, is now looking forward to his next. Eyeing the next Sankranthi as usual, the director already confirmed that he has locked a crazy title. Here goes another interesting deet.
Reportedly, Anil Ravipudi is working on the star cast for his next film, and none other than Fahadh Faasil is said to be coming aboard as a villain. Reports are doing rounds that already Anil narrated the story and character to the Malayalam star, who was earlier upset that director Sukumar hadn’t given a better role for him in Pushpa 2. They say that he’s most likely to come onboard for the movie.
Coming to the hero, though Anil Ravipudi hasn’t confirmed anything yet, some reports are saying that he’s locking the senior star Venkatesh Daggubati for the hero’s role. Already, the duo earlier confirmed that they will reunite, but we have to see if the combination of Anil, Dil Raju and Venkatesh that delivered F2, F3, and Sankranthiki Vastunnam will do it again.
