Priya Bhavani Shankar Lands Lead Over Samantha Prabhu

Speculation regarding Samantha Ruth Prabhu's participation in an upcoming action thriller alongside Ravi Teja has been definitively put to rest. Contrary to earlier rumors, sources now indicate that Priya Bhavani Shankar is being considered as the primary choice for the female lead role in the film.

Ravi Teja is presently dedicating his attention to his family-centric drama, tentatively titled 'Bhartha Mahasayulaki Wignyapthi'. This project is anticipated to hit screens during the Sankranthi festival in 2026. The casting process for the action thriller, however, is still ongoing and has not yet been finalized by the production team.

This development shifts the focus of casting discussions away from prominent actresses like Samantha Ruth Prabhu and towards Priya Bhavani Shankar for the thriller. Fans and industry watchers will be keenly awaiting further updates on the complete cast and production schedule for Ravi Teja's forthcoming projects.
