Ravi Teja is in red-hot form after scoring the biggest hit of his career with Irumudi. Directed by Shiva Nirvana, the devotional action drama received strong critical appreciation for its emotional core, performances and rooted storytelling, while also turning into a massive commercial success. The film crossed ₹200 crore worldwide, becoming the first Ravi Teja starrer to achieve the milestone and comfortably emerging as the biggest grosser of his career.
Promising Combination
Riding this career-best momentum, Ravi Teja is now teaming up with Vivek Athreya for an interesting new project. Athreya has built a reputation for bringing distinctive storytelling to mainstream cinema with films such as Brochevarevarura, Ante Sundaraniki and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram. The new film marks their first collaboration, with Bridge Productions backing the project. The makers are reportedly planning a formal launch around Dussehra, with regular shooting expected to follow.
Interesting Title in Discussion
The casting is already adding to the curiosity. Priyanka Mohan is reportedly set to play the female lead, while Malayalam actress Anaswara Rajan is said to have a crucial role. Senior actor JD Chakravarthy is reportedly being considered for the antagonist, potentially setting up an intriguing face-off with Ravi Teja. Interestingly, ‘Thulabhaaram’ is currently being considered as the title, although the makers have not officially confirmed it yet.
