There were huge reports that Fahadh Faasil is all set to play a crucial role in Anil Ravipudi and Venkatesh’s upcoming film, which is scheduled for Sankranthi 2027 release. But the latest news is that the actor might not be part of the film anymore.
Anil Ravipudi has often been fondly referred to by audiences as a “Regional Rajamouli” as he maintained a remarkable success streak without facing a major box office failure.
Over the years, he has delivered some of the biggest commercial hits for the stars he has collaborated with, establishing himself as one of the most reliable commercial directors in Telugu cinema.
Anil Ravipudi – Venkatesh Combination is a Blockbuster One
Now, he is all set to reunite with Venkatesh. The Venkatesh–Anil Ravipudi combination has already proven to be a blockbuster pairing and remains a favorite among family audiences. Their previous collaborations delivered massive commercial successes, and expectations are naturally high for this upcoming project.
The script and pre-production work are currently underway. The film is expected to go on floors in the second half of this year, with a grand Sankranthi 2027 release being targeted.
Fahadh Faasil might have gained a new image by collaborating with Ravipudi
Interestingly, the makers are reportedly considering Fahadh Faasil for a crucial role in the film, possibly as a strong second lead. If finalized, this casting would add a fresh and exciting dimension to the project.
But the industry buzz suggests that Fahadh Faasil has quoted a hefty remuneration to act in Anil Ravipudi and Venkatesh’s film, which may not align with the film’s economic structure. Due to this, the team is said to be exploring alternative options.
If Fahadh ends up missing out on the project purely over remuneration discussions, it could be a significant loss of opportunity. Collaborating with Anil Ravipudi might have offered him a refreshing commercial makeover and introduced him to a broader Telugu mass audience in a new light.
