Ravi Babu remains a notable filmmaker in Telugu cinema despite delivering a string of box-office disappointments in recent years. Ever since his directorial debut Allari, his films have entertained audiences with their unconventional subjects, distinctive storytelling, technical finesse and offbeat plots. However, the filmmaker has been going through a difficult phase, with several of his recent projects failing to make an impact at the box office. His career has particularly struggled since Avunu, which showcased his ability to handle the horror genre.
Can Horror Bring Ravi Babu Back Into the Game?
Ravi Babu even tried his luck as a lead actor with the action thriller Razor, which failed to make a mark commercially. Now, the filmmaker is looking to stage a comeback by returning to a genre in which he has previously demonstrated considerable strength. He has joined hands with Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut for Scary Picture, an upcoming horror entertainer scheduled for release in 2027. The project also marks Ravi Babu’s Hindi directorial debut.
Kangana Ranaut Headlines Scary Picture
Produced by D. Suresh Babu under Suresh Productions and Ravi Babu under Flying Frogs Production, the film was recently announced through its title-reveal teaser. While the makers have not disclosed the storyline or additional cast details, Kangana’s presence adds considerable interest to the project. With horror being Ravi Babu’s strong zone, Scary Picture could offer him an opportunity to rediscover his filmmaking strengths and make a successful comeback.
