Ravi Teja recently came before the audience with the so-called mass entertainer Mass Jathara. The film was thrashed by critics and by the audience. It ended up as a box office disaster. Ravi Teja has never been the kind of actor who dwells on failures. He keeps moving and signs films back-to-back. He stays busy no matter what. But sometimes an actor has to stop and think about what is going wrong each time.
Even while Mass Jathara was still shooting, he had already lined up another project with director Kishore Tirumala. A major portion of that film is already complete. The film is titled Bhartha Mahashayulaku Vignapthi. The makers are targeting a Sankranthi release. It is said to be a clean family entertainer. Ravi Teja is hoping to score a much-needed hit.
Now, reports suggest that he has locked another film after this. Ravi Teja is set to collaborate with director Shiva Nirvana for the first time. Shiva Nirvana narrated a crime thriller. Ravi Teja liked the story immediately. He gave a quick green signal. The script is now locked. The team plans to start the shoot by the end of November.
Shiva Nirvana is best known for emotional love stories like Ninnu Kori, Majili and Kushi. He attempted a mass film with Tuck Jagadish. That film did not land as expected. This time, he wants to enter a completely new zone. It is a full-fledged crime thriller that is packed with emotion. For him, this film is both an experiment and an opportunity to break out of the romantic drama image.
This combination has grabbed attention for that reason. Ravi Teja’s high energy presence mixed with Shiva Nirvana’s emotional depth sounds like an interesting blend. Also, Shiva Nirvana is a sensible director compared to many others in the industry. He may or may not come up with a groundbreaking film, but hopes are there that at least he will not come up with outright trash like Mass Jathara.
Fans hope that Ravi Teja finally gets a big success after a rough patch. They also hope that Shiva Nirvana scores a strong success outside his comfort zone.
Everyone is now waiting to see whether this unexpected collaboration becomes a fresh breakthrough for both the actor and the director.
