Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja’s films usually have a lot of buzz about them. He has a lot of craze among the masses and his movies always get decent openings. But his recent track record is not that great as not one film except ‘Krack’ had succeeded at the box office. The effect is clearly seen on his upcoming film ‘Ramrao On Duty’.

Directed by Sharat Mandava, this movie is releasing on 29th July. But there is zero buzz on the film and not many know that the film is releasing at the end of this month. The team released three songs and a teaser till date but they failed to create any kind of hype. These days promotions are very important. People are only entering the theaters if the promotions are properly planned and executed. There are times when heavily promoted films also failed to get good revenues. At this point in time, Ravi Teja’s film is not having any buzz and the team is doing nothing in terms of promotions.

Barring the release of promotional content and a media interaction with the debut director, Ravi Teja did not make a single statement about this film. It is high time that the film’s unit needs to step up in terms of promotions. Let us wait and see what they do in the coming days. This movie produced under Sudhakar Cherukuri’s SLV Cinemas LLP and RT Teamworks is directed by debutant Sharath Mandava. Venu Thottempudi plays a key role and Ravi Teja will be seen as a Deputy Collector Mandal Revenue Officer in his 68th film.

Rajisha Vijayan and Divyansha Koushil are the female leads in this project while Nasser, Sr Naresh, Pavitra Lokesh, ‘Sarpatta’ John Vijay, Chaitanya Krishna, Tanikella Bharani, Rahul Rama Krishna, Eerojullo Sree, Madhu Sudan Rao, Surekha Vani and others play key roles. Sam CS composed the music for this film while Sathyan Sooryan is the director of photography. Praveen KL is the editor and this story is written from true incidents.

Dhurandhar Making Documentary Eyes Theatrical Release

April 22, 2026

Dhurandhar is gearing up for an interesting strategy, as its making-of documentary is reportedly being planned for a theatrical release. This move has instantly drawn comparisons with RRR, whose behind-the-scenes documentary also hit theatres before later arriving on OTT platforms.

While the RRR documentary managed to spark curiosity, its box office performance remained moderate despite the film’s massive global success. Now, the same question is being raised — will Dhurandhar follow a similar path and see a comparable response?

One of the biggest highlights surrounding Dhurandhar has been its grand scale and production design. The team reportedly recreated an elaborate artificial Pakistan setup in Bangkok, a detail that has impressed many within the industry. This aspect alone could attract audiences who are keen to explore the craftsmanship behind large-scale filmmaking.

Director Aditya Dhar, known for his technical precision, is expected to offer deeper insights into his vision through this documentary. However, trade analysts remain cautious. Unlike mainstream feature films, making-of documentaries generally have limited theatrical appeal and tend to attract a niche audience.
While curiosity and the film’s scale may bring some initial footfall, expectations suggest that the documentary might not deliver strong box office numbers — potentially mirroring the trend seen with RRR.
