Why is Anil Ravipudi silent about his film’s producer?

Director Anil Ravipudi surprised everyone by announcing his next film with Venkatesh Daggubati and Kalyan Ram. The unexpected multi-starrer instantly created buzz in Tollywood.

Interestingly, the announcement came directly from Anil Ravipudi, not from any production house. There was no official mention of a producer, raising questions in industry circles.

Sources say Anil shares a long-standing association with producer Dil Raju, who backed several of his blockbusters including “F2” and “Sankranthiki Vastunnam”. His recent film “Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu” was produced by Sahu Garapati, with whom Anil reportedly wants to collaborate again.

However, Venkatesh’s brother Suresh Babu is said to be interested in joining as a production partner. At the same time, Dil Raju is reportedly offering a lucrative deal to bring the project under his banner. And Sahu Garapati is his friend and has to do another film for him. He also has offers from other producrers. Caught between commitments and business offers, Anil Ravipudi appears to be taking time before finalizing the production house.

For now, he has clarified the lead cast, but the producer announcement may take a little longer.
