Director Anil Ravipudi has already achieved the rare feat of directing Megastar Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh, and Nandamuri Balakrishna. He has often expressed his desire to collaborate with Akkineni Nagarjuna as well, which would complete his record of directing all four major stars of the 90s generation. Now, it appears that this long-cherished ambition may soon turn into reality.

Although Anil Ravipudi has not officially announced his next project yet, he recently mentioned that he plans to take a short break and go on a vacation before finalizing his next film. However, industry insiders suggest that he is already working on a new project aimed at a Sankranthi 2027 release.

While the director is keen on stepping up and collaborating with the top stars of the current generation, immediate dates from stars like NTR, Allu Arjun, and Prabhas are not available. There was some speculation about a possible project with Ram Charan, potentially alongside his film with Sukumar, but the chances of that materializing remain slim.

On the other hand, Nagarjuna Akkineni is said to be open to working with Anil Ravipudi if a strong script comes his way. Interestingly, such a project could also feature special appearances by Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh, given Ravipudi’s close rapport with both stars.

For now, it remains to be seen how these plans shape up in the coming months.
