Anil Ravipudi has earned a reputation as one of Telugu cinema’s most consistent hit directors. While many directors risk repetition after successive successes, Anil has remained fresh becoming the “Brand of Entertainment” in 2025.
When Sankranti releases leaned towards big-budget, action heavy films, he broke the trend with F2, starring Venkatesh and Varun Tej and followed it with Sarileru Neekevvaru featuring Mahesh Babu.
Completing a hat-trick, Sankranthiki Vasthunam with Venkatesh as the solo lead, became the highest-grossing film among senior actors, collecting around Rs. 300 crore and delivering the year’s biggest ROI.
His success shifted the industry’s focus toward family entertainers for Sankranti. With a strong fan base built over eight films, Anil’s next with Chiranjeevi, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, is the most awaited release for Sankranti 2026.
The film also marks the first on-screen pairing of Venkatesh and Chiranjeevi, with chartbuster songs already creating buzz.
