After delivering his career’s biggest blockbuster with Sankranthiki Vasthunam during the Sankranthi season earlier this year, director Anil Ravipudi is all set for his next project. None other than Megastar Chiranjeevi will be playing the main lead in Anil Ravipudi’s next movie. This crazy project will have its formal launch on the auspicious Ugadi festive day.
It was earlier reported that gorgeous beauty Aditi Rao Hydari is the frontrunner to play Chiru’s love interest in the Anil Ravipudi directorial. However, the latest grapevine reveals that the beautiful Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra is also in consideration for the leading lady’s role in the movie. The makers are currently holding talks with both the actresses, and either Aditi or Parineeti will be on board very soon.
Incidentally, both Aditi Rao Hydari and Parineeti Chopra had tied the knot to the lovers of their lives, actor Siddharth and politician Raghav Chadha, respectively. Interestingly, rumours were rife initially that Anil was penning a script that would have neither a romance track nor a leading lady. But the reports turned false afterwards.
The Chiru-Anil movie will be bankrolled by Sahu Garapati. The film is said to be an out-and-out comedy entertainer, and Anil Ravipudi is determined to showcase Chiru in his vintage avatar. The actor will be seen as Shankar Vara Prasad in this movie, which will hit the silver screens during Sankranthi 2026.
