The latest buzz around Ravi Teja’s upcoming film with young filmmaker Vivek Athreya is all about its title. According to industry reports, the makers are considering Thulabhaaram as the title for the project.
Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, but the title is currently creating curiosity among movie circles. If the reports turn out to be true, Thulabhaaram would be an interesting title for the Ravi Teja-Athreya combination. Though, fans should wait for an official announcement.
Ravi Teja’s latest film Irumudi has completely changed the equation around him. After a long string of flops and disappointing films, Irumudi became the biggest hit of his career, reportedly closing at around Rs. 240 crores worldwide with sensational footfalls.
That success has naturally increased expectations for his next film.
Vivek Athreya is said to be preparing a commercial entertainer with horror elements for Ravi Teja. The film is reportedly designed to combine thriller elements, mass action and comedy. If the reported concept is executed properly, it could offer a different flavor from Ravi Teja’s recent outings.
More importantly, Ravi Teja now needs to make the right choices after Irumudi. The blockbuster has restored his market and audience confidence, so simply rushing into the next release would make little sense.
Irumudi also proved that Ravi Teja does not necessarily need a festival release to score big. The film managed to create a huge impact despite arriving outside the major festive windows.
So, the immediate question is not just what Ravi Teja’s next film will be, but whether Thulabhaaram is actually the worthy successor to Irumudi.
