Chiranjeevi & Anil Ravipudi’s Next Set for Ugadi Launch

After delivering his career’s biggest blockbuster with Sankranthiki Vasthunam earlier this year, director Anil Ravipudi is gearing up for his next big project, featuring none other than Megastar Chiranjeevi. This much-anticipated film is set for a grand launch on the auspicious occasion of Ugadi.

While Aditi Rao Hydari was initially reported to be the frontrunner for the female lead, the latest buzz suggests that Bollywood beauty Parineeti Chopra is also in contention. Talks are currently underway, and one of the two actresses will be finalized soon. Interestingly, both Aditi and Parineeti recently tied the knot—Aditi with actor Siddharth and Parineeti with politician Raghav Chadha.

Earlier, rumors suggested that Anil Ravipudi’s script would not include a romance track or a leading lady, but those speculations have since been debunked.

Produced by Sahu Garapati, this out-and-out comedy entertainer promises to bring back Chiru in his vintage avatar. The Megastar will be seen as Shankar Vara Prasad, and the film is slated for a grand Sankranthi 2026 release!
