Ravi Teja desperate for a hit. After facing setbacks with back-to-back disappointments in 'Ravanasura' and 'Tiger Nageswara Rao,' Ravi Teja finds himself at a crucial juncture in his career, aiming to resurrect his winning streak. Acknowledging the need for a comeback, a source emphasizes that Ravi Teja must tread cautiously in selecting scripts, prioritizing substance over action-centric films that might lack novelty.
The upcoming collaboration with director Gopichand Mallineni holds significant promise for Ravi Teja, especially given their previous blockbuster, 'Krack.' Recognizing the director's responsibility to deliver a much-anticipated success, the source notes, "Gopichand understands the larger-than-life image of the 'Kick' star and is keen on satisfying his fans. The film has substantial potential."
Recent positive feedback for Ravi Teja's special role in 'Waltair Veerrayya,' where he effortlessly portrayed an upright cop, has been a welcome boost. Additionally, his commercial entertainer 'Dhamaka' performed well at the box office, reinstating his appeal after the setbacks with 'Khiladi' and 'Rama Rao On Duty.'
In a strategic move, Ravi Teja is reportedly in discussions with director Anil Ravipudi for a sequel to their previous laugh-riot, 'Raja The Great.' This potential collaboration holds the promise of placing him back in the limelight. The source emphasizes, "Ravi Teja excels in both action and comedy, and he needs directors who can capitalize on both aspects rather than delving into mindless action flicks."
As Ravi Teja navigates this critical phase in his career, the success of upcoming projects, particularly the collaboration with Gopichand Mallineni and the potential sequel with Anil Ravipudi, is anticipated to shape his trajectory positively. Fans are hopeful that these ventures will not only showcase his versatility but also reinforce his standing as a leading figure in the industry.
