Venkatesh & Kalyan Ram Team Up for Anil Ravipudi’s 'January 12 Vidudala'

Venkatesh and Nandamuri Kalyan Ram are set to headline director Anil Ravipudi’s upcoming Telugu film, which now carries the playful title "January 12 Vidudala." Known for his knack for grabbing audience attention, Anil Ravipudi has once again sparked curiosity with this unconventional title. The announcement was made through a humorous video, where both lead actors, along with Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty, appear puzzled—mistaking the film’s title for its release date. Anil Ravipudi then clarifies that the movie is indeed titled "January 12 Vidudala," and it is also scheduled to hit theatres on January 12, 2027.

The title and its reveal drew inspiration from a classic EVV Satyanarayana film, adding a nostalgic touch for Telugu cinema fans. The tagline for the film, "Bava Bammardhi Soujanyamtho," hints at a family-centric or comedic theme, which aligns with Ravipudi’s signature style. Music for the film is being composed by GV Prakash Kumar, promising a lively soundtrack.

Production is being handled by Sahu Garapati under Shine Screens, in collaboration with Suresh Productions and Zee Studios, bringing together some of the industry’s leading banners. The unique title and the playful announcement have generated buzz across social media, with many fans expressing amusement and anticipation for what Anil Ravipudi has planned.
