By: Tupaki Desk | 10 Feb 2026 4:14 PM ISTActor Ravi Teja has landed an interesting new project after a long delay that originally involved another star. As per latest reports, director Shiva Nirvana had first narrated this emotional script to Naga Chaitanya. Chaitanya reportedly liked the story very much and even showed interest in doing the film. However, due to several reasons and changes after the release of Majili, the project kept getting postponed and finally did not take off with him.
After waiting for a long time, Shiva Nirvana decided to move ahead with the same script by making some changes. That is when Ravi Teja came on board. With his entry, the story evolved further and finally took shape as a new film titled Irumudi. The film is currently being shot at a fast pace, and the team is said to be very confident about the final output.
This movie marks Ravi Teja’s 77th film, and it is already creating good buzz among fans. Recently, the makers released the first-look poster, which received a strong response. In the poster, Ravi Teja is seen in a powerful Ayyappa devotee look.
The title Irumudi has a deep spiritual meaning. It refers to the sacred offering carried by devotees. One striking element in the poster is Ravi Teja holding a young girl, suggesting a touching father-daughter relationship that plays a key role in the story.
Sharing his thoughts, Ravi Teja said that some stories come into an actor’s life at the right time, and he feels blessed to be part of this one. Sources say the film has a strong mix of devotion, emotion, and mass appeal.
The movie stars Priya Bhavani Shankar as the female lead. Other cast and release details are expected to be announced soon.
