After delivering a massive hit with Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, director Anil Ravipudi has become the centre of intense curiosity regarding his next film. Several reports and social media discussions have speculated about the project, including claims that he might reunite with Venkatesh and that Fahadh Faasil could be part of the cast.

However, according to sources close to the development, Fahadh Faasil is not associated with the project, and reports linking his exit to remuneration issues are said to be baseless. Despite this, speculation continued online, with many suggesting that Anil Ravipudi was now searching for another star to replace Fahadh Faasil.

Putting an end to these rumours, Anil Ravipudi issued a clear statement requesting restraint from the media and social media users.

“Any official update about my next film will be shared only through my social media handles. I kindly request the media not to speculate or publish unverified details about the project,” the director stated.

He further added that an official announcement would be made soon and urged everyone to be patient.

“I sincerely appreciate the enthusiasm and thank everyone for the continued support. Please wait for the official announcement,” he said.

Anil Ravipudi’s latest blockbuster Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, starring megastar Chiranjeevi with Nayanthara as the female lead, released during Sankranthi and went on to become one of the biggest hits in recent Telugu cinema. The film was produced by Sushmita Konidela and Sahu Garapati.

From his debut Pataas to his latest success, Anil Ravipudi has maintained an impressive streak of commercial hits. Naturally, expectations are high for his next project, making fans and the industry eager — yet now firmly reminded — to wait for the official word.
