Tollywood director Anil Ravipudi, famed for his family entertainers, is all set to return this Sankranti with a new film starring Megastar Chiranjeevi. Known for his festive hits, Ravipudi’s previous Sankranti releases, including F2: Fun and Frustration and Sankranti Vastunnam, were well-received by audiences, establishing him as a perfect festive filmmaker.
In 2019, F2 marked his first major family entertainer during Sankranti, and it was a huge success. Following this, Ravipudi has consistently delivered hits at the festival with movies like Dooku Maharaj and Game Changer, reinforcing his reputation for crafting crowd-pleasing films.
However, this year’s festive line-up promises tough competition. Films such as Anaganaga Oka Raju and The Raja Saab are also set to release around the same time, both family-oriented and generating considerable buzz. Actor Naveen Polishetty is also attracting attention with his festival promotions, making the market more competitive.
Despite the rising competition, expectations are high for Ravipudi’s new venture. Audiences are eager to see how he presents this latest family entertainer and whether it will match the success of his previous hits. With Megastar Chiranjeevi leading the cast, the film has already created positive anticipation among fans.
Ravipudi’s track record speaks for itself. Since his directorial debut with Pataas, he has maintained a remarkable 100% success rate, producing a series of blockbuster hits including Supreme, Raja the Great, F2, and Bhagavant Kesari. His films are known for combining humour with family-friendly content, earning both commercial success and critical acclaim.
Anil Ravipudi has often been compared to director SS Rajamouli for his consistent success in Tollywood, and he is regarded as a festival-specialist director. With his new Chiranjeevi film scheduled for release next Sankranti, fans and critics alike are keen to see if he can continue his winning streak.
Tollywood audiences can expect another entertaining festive treat, but with increased competition, only time will tell if the new film secures the blockbuster status Ravipudi has become synonymous with.
