Anil Ravipudi is set to direct a multi-starrer featuring Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram in lead roles, and the makers have now revealed an exciting detail about the project. The film will be set in the Rayalaseema region, adding a fresh dimension to Ravipudi’s trademark comedy-driven storytelling. Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty have been paired opposite Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram, respectively, while G. V. Prakash Kumar will compose the music.
Rayalaseema Setting with a Comedy Twist
The announcement of the Rayalaseema backdrop has sparked curiosity among audiences, given the region’s strong association with intense faction dramas in Telugu cinema. However, Anil Ravipudi was quick to clarify that this film will not follow that route. Instead, the director promised a wholesome family entertainer packed with his signature brand of humor and commercial elements.
This creative choice reflects Ravipudi’s confidence in blending regional authenticity with mass entertainment. By choosing Rayalaseema as the setting without relying on violence or faction politics, the filmmaker is carving out a unique space for the project. The director’s successful track record with films like Sankranthiki Vasthunam and F2 has already generated considerable buzz around this venture.
Star Cast and Production Update
The combination of Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram sharing screen space is a major draw for this project. Both actors bring distinct strengths—Venkatesh’s impeccable comic timing and mass appeal, and Kalyan Ram’s versatility across genres. The casting of Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty as the female leads adds further star power to the ensemble.
Currently in the pre-production stage, the film is expected to go on floors very soon. The team appears to be building the right momentum, and more details regarding the project—including its official title—are expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks.
