Anil Ravipudi On Hunt For Second Lead

Anil Ravipudi is set to direct Venkatesh in his next film. There are rumors about the other lead actor with names like Fahadh Faasil and Karthi being mentioned but Anil has asked people not to believe the speculations.

The script is being written and is expected to be ready by April while shooting is planned to start in June.

Anil is taking his time to finalize the second lead, looking for someone who fits the film’s budget.

Since both he and Venkatesh will take big remunerations, the other actor should have a good market and reasonable pay.

No actor has been finalized yet. Produced by Shine Screens and presented by Suresh Productions and the untitled film is targeted for Sankranthi 2027 release.
