Anil Ravipudi Denies Mahesh Babu Collaboration Rumors

Director Anil Ravipudi has categorically denied ongoing speculation regarding a potential reunion with actor Mahesh Babu for a new film. Ravipudi utilized social media platforms to directly address and dismiss these reports, labeling them as untrue.

He expressed his deep respect and affection for Mahesh Babu, emphasizing that the circulating news about a new project is entirely false. Ravipudi urged the public not to believe or spread such rumors. This clarification comes after their successful collaboration on the 2020 action-comedy film 'Sarileru Neekevvaru,' which also featured Rashmika Mandanna.

The previous partnership between the actor and director had led fans to anticipate another collaboration. However, Ravipudi's recent statement confirms that no such project is currently confirmed. Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu is actively involved in his highly anticipated film, 'Varanasi'.

'Varanasi' is an epic action-adventure directed by S. S. Rajamouli, marking their first collaboration. The film is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on April 7, 2027. The story spans multiple timelines, following Mahesh Babu's character, Rudhra, as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure and confronts a major threat to the city of Varanasi, reportedly involving an asteroid.
