Anil Ravipudi In Search Of Mega Heroine

With Sankrantiki Vasthunnam, director Anil Ravipudi, who has already scored a massive blockbuster, is working diligently on the script for Chiranjeevi’s next film. According to sources, the first half of the script has already been completed, as per the sentiment, and was started in Vizag. The remaining portion is being worked on in Hyderabad, and it is expected that Ravipudi will soon present the script to Chiranjeevi. Even though they don’t meet in person regularly, it’s been revealed that Chiranjeevi and Ravipudi discuss the updates over the phone frequently. Now, there’s a major challenge ahead for Anil – finding the perfect on-screen pair for the megastar.

Pairing senior stars with suitable heroines has become a significant challenge for directors. Before locking in Aishwarya Rajesh opposite Venkatesh, Anil considered several options. Some didn’t agree, while others failed to deliver the required performance in trial shoots. After much thought, Anil finally made the best decision. Even for Meenakshi Chaudhary, there were some small adjustments. Now, the focus is on selecting the right heroine for Chiranjeevi’s pairing. Aditi Rao Hydari’s name is being discussed, but it remains to be seen how well she will fit with Ravipudi’s style. Hence, she is still under consideration.

The film will have four songs, and in at least two of them, the heroine will need to dance alongside Chiranjeevi. Therefore, selecting the right actress is crucial. If they don’t find the right match here, it’s been noted that they may also explore options in Mumbai. Despite the competition, the Ravipudi team is determined to release the film by Sankranti 2026, and they have planned the schedules accordingly. Leaks suggest that the film will have vibes similar to Gharana Mogudu and Gang Leader, which will likely resonate with the audience.
