By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 16 April 2026 12:35 AM ISTDirector Anil Ravipudi is once again proving his strong brand value in Telugu cinema. Even before the shooting of his new film begins, the project has already created huge excitement among fans and trade circles.
This upcoming movie brings together Venkatesh Daggubati and Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in lead roles. This combination itself is very special as both actors have strong fan bases. A multistarrer like this always creates high expectations and with Anil Ravipudi directing it, the buzz has gone to another level.
One of the biggest highlights is that the OTT deal has already been closed even before the film officially starts shooting. Popular streaming platform ZEE5 has reportedly acquired the digital rights for a fancy price. This clearly shows the confidence that digital platforms have in Anil Ravipudi’s films. His previous movies have performed very well both in theatres and on OTT.
The film is expected to go on floors in the last week of June 2026 in Hyderabad. The makers are planning to complete the shooting in three major schedules. Currently, pre-production work is happening at a fast pace, including casting and technical planning.
Another exciting update is that the film is targeting a grand release during the Sankranthi festival. Sankranthi is one of the biggest seasons for Telugu cinema and releasing during this time can bring huge box office success. Anil Ravipudi is already known for delivering entertaining family films, which suit the festive mood perfectly.
Interestingly, this will be the fifth collaboration between Anil Ravipudi and Venkatesh. Their previous films have all been successful. At the same time, Ravipudi is also teaming up again with Kalyan Ram after their earlier hit film.
