Anil Ravipudi’s next big project, starring Victory Venkatesh and Nandamuri Kalyanram, has made headlines as the team finalizes GV Prakash Kumar as its music composer. This upcoming film, still in its scripting and pre-production phases, is already generating significant buzz thanks to its star cast and high-profile crew.

Director Anil Ravipudi, renowned for his streak of commercial successes, had recently collaborated with composer Bheems on chart-topping albums for films like Sankranthiki Vastunnam and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. Bheems’ music was notably instrumental in elevating these films, with his background scores receiving wide appreciation.

However, reports indicate that Bheems’ increased fee demands for the new project led to a change in plans. As per sources, Bheems was particular about his remuneration this time, prompting Ravipudi to approach GV Prakash Kumar instead. The film’s producer, Sahu Garapati, is joined by Suresh Productions and Zee Studios as co-producers, adding further heft to the venture. Music sessions are set to kick off in June, with an official announcement expected soon.

With a festive Sankranthi 2027 release on the cards, anticipation is high among fans eager to see this fresh collaboration. More updates on the film’s progress are awaited as production gears up in the coming months.
