Buzz: Raviteja’s Green Signal To Tamil Director

After doing back-to-back commercial movies like Eagle, Mr Bachhan, Mass Jathara, and Bharta Mahaseyulaku Wignyapthi, which didn’t work at the box office, Mass Raja Raviteja has changed gears and picked up the “Irumudi” movie. Many thought that the 58-year-old star has changed gears and will be doing more of meaningful art cinema now. But now, it looks like he has okayed another mass film.

Apparently, Tamil director Hari, who has delivered the super popular Singham series with Suriya and scored a massive success, is said to have narrated a story to Raviteja recently. Though the director’s last outing, Vishal’s Ratnam, which got released in 2024, is not so successful in Telugu, reports are coming that Raviteja liked Hari’s idea and wanted to do that film after he wraps up Irumudi. Though Hari carves high-voltage action films for sure, the current OTT situation and the audience's reception towards such films is not so positive, so we have to see what the hero and director will actually do.

On the other hand, as Raviteja is going pretty strict on remuneration, some producers who want to do films with him are said to be backing out. However, the hero wants to make sure that he gives a strong comeback at the box office like how senior heroes Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna are ruling with their mass films, and wants to make it big once again.
