By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 10 Feb 2026 10:39 PM ISTRumours about a new film starring Venkatesh and directed by Anil Ravipudi have been doing the rounds on social media since yesterday. A film title, heroine names, story details, and even casting rumours started trending widely, creating huge excitement among fans and movie lovers.
According to the viral talk, the film already had a title, and there were also reports that Venkatesh would romance two heroines in this upcoming project. Some gossip pages even claimed that the makers had locked everything, from the title to the cast. These rumours spread very fast across television, websites, and social media platforms.
Reacting to all this buzz in his own unique and fun style, director Anil Ravipudi finally broke his silence. Instead of giving a serious clarification, he chose humour. He shared a sarcastic GIF of legendary comedian Brahmanandam which instantly caught everyone’s attention.
Along with the GIF, Anil Ravipudi wrote a message. He said that he has not even put pen on paper yet. He wrote, "I haven’t even put pen on paper yet . Actors, story, and title are already decided. Looking at this flow, someone might even say ‘Action’ and ‘Cut’ soon" His words made it clear that most of the circulating news is purely imaginary.
However, he also showed understanding towards fans and their excitement. In the same post, he added, "I can understand your excitement. Very soon, we will officially share the real and complete details about what film I am doing and with whom."
It is worth noting that the combination of Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi has been very successful in the past. Their earlier films like F2 and F3 turned into big entertainers at the box office. Because of this track record, expectations are naturally high whenever their names come together.
