The launch of Anil Ravipudi’s much-awaited multistarrer featuring Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram has generated significant excitement among Telugu cinema fans. The latest buzz suggests that the two stars will be seen as brothers-in-law, with the story revolving around the humorous conflicts and situations that arise between them.
Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty are reportedly playing the female leads. Interestingly, industry circles are drawing comparisons with the Malayalam hit Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil, a 2024 comedy-drama that centered on the chaotic relationship between two soon-to-be brothers-in-law amid a family wedding.
The film, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Basil Joseph, became a major commercial success thanks to its entertaining mix of comedy, misunderstandings, and family emotions.
However, fans are hoping that Ravipudi doesn’t simply recreate the Malayalam film. The director has built his reputation on taking familiar storylines and packaging them with his own brand of commercial entertainment, humor, and mass appeal.
The fact that the film is being mounted as a Sankranthi 2027 entertainer further indicates that it will carry a much bigger Telugu flavor. If the basic setup is indeed inspired by Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil, the challenge will be to offer enough freshness.
Fortunately for the makers, Anil Ravipudi has repeatedly proven that he can transform simple premises into crowd-pleasing entertainers. If he adds his trademark comedy and emotional moments, this combination could turn into one of the biggest family entertainers of 2027.
