Venkatesh doing up Chiranjeevi project. Recently, rumors swirled around the potential collaboration between director Anil Ravipudi and renowned producer Dil Raju, sparking anticipation for a project rumored to grace the screens by Sankranthi 2025. However, the plot took an intriguing turn as reports emerged revealing that this coveted project had found its way into the hands of veteran actor Venkatesh.
For some time, Anil Ravipudi had been vocal about his ambition to helm a project starring Megastar Chiranjeevi. Despite initial enthusiasm, Chiranjeevi reportedly passed on the final story, seeking a narrative that would be more fitting for his current venture, Vishwambhara. Subsequently, when Anil approached Venkatesh, who had previously collaborated with him on successful ventures like F2 and F3, the actor readily embraced the script, sealing the deal without hesitation.
The industry buzzes with speculation as to why Megastar declined Anil Ravipudi's script, given the director's track record of delivering both comedic hits like the F2 franchise and critically acclaimed dramas such as Bhagwant Kesari.
Sources indicate that the project Venkatesh has committed to with Anil Ravipudi diverges from the comedic tone of the F2 and F3 films, adding an air of mystery to the forthcoming collaboration.
