There is no debate that is one of the most friendly directors of this generation. However, this tag is slowly being overtaken by , who has emerged as a strong favourite among family audiences, especially during the festival season.
Anil Ravipudi has kept his formula simple and effective. He makes films on tight budgets, follows strict timelines, and releases them during Sankranti. This approach has worked well for him, his heroes, and his producers.
With consistent success and strong box office returns, Anil has little reason to change his strategy. Social media trolling has not affected his core audience. Family viewers continue to support his films in large numbers.
On the other hand, Trivikram possesses an exceptional talent pool. He has the ability to write engaging family entertainers almost effortlessly. His strength lies in blending emotion, humour, and strong writing.
If Trivikram delivers a vintage-style family drama during the Sankranti season, he would be hard to beat. He is a master of this genre. Family audiences are likely to prioritise his film over others during the festive period.
While Anil Ravipudi has dominated the Sankranti space with consistent success, it may be time for Trivikram to take a few lessons. Sankranti-specific packaging and planning could help him regain that territory.
Trivikram is currently busy with a film starring , which is targeting a mid 2026 release. This leaves little time to plan another project for Sankranti 2027.
However, Sankranti 2028 remains a strong possibility for Trivikram to reconnect with the family audience. With the right project, he could reclaim his festive dominance.
At the same time, Trivikram is also focusing on big-scale filmmaking. He is lining up a film based on war god Karthikeya. and are currently in contention for this ambitious project.
