The sudden announcement of NTR and Anil Ravipudi’s upcoming film has caught the industry and audiences by surprise. While the unexpected announcement triggered considerable excitement, it also raised questions about why the makers decided to reveal the project so abruptly. Interestingly, the reason behind the timing is said to be connected to producer Dil Raju’s comments at the Ramayana success meet a day earlier.
Dil Raju’s Announcement Triggered the Move
At the event, Dil Raju announced that Anil Ravipudi’s next commitment was with his production house, Sri Venkateswara Creations, and that the film was targeting a Sankranti 2028 release. However, Anil Ravipudi was reportedly unaware that Dil Raju would make the announcement. Although the filmmaker has a commitment with the producer, his project with NTR had already been finalised, with the team planning to announce it at a later date. Dil Raju‘s statement reportedly created the possibility of confusion surrounding Anil’s immediate next project, prompting NTR Arts to make the announcement the following day.
Dil Raju’s Film Will Have to Wait
The NTR project is being produced exclusively by NTR Arts, with Kalyan Ram as the producer. Dil Raju has no involvement in it, and his commitment with Anil Ravipudi remains intact. However, their collaboration will now have to wait until the filmmaker completes the NTR project. While Dil Raju is said to be the one most affected by this development, NTR fans have reason to celebrate. With Prashanth Neel’s Dragon and the Anil Ravipudi film lined up, they could witness two major NTR releases in relatively quick succession.
