India-Maldives: మాల్దీవుల పర్యాటకానికి రాంరాం | Severe Impact on Maldives Tourism

Anil Ravipudi has firmly established himself as a dependable Sankranthi director, beginning in 2019 with the blockbuster F2. He reinforced that image in 2020 with another festive winner, Sarileru Neekevvaru.

Maintaining his golden run, Anil Ravipudi went on to deliver back-to-back Sankranthi successes in 2025 and 2026 with Sankranthiki Vastunnam and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, further strengthening his reputation as a festival crowd-puller.

It has already been officially announced that he will reunite with Venkatesh once again for the 2027 Sankranthi season. Adding to the excitement, strong industry buzz suggests that Anil Ravipudi is keen on collaborating with Nagarjuna for Sankranthi 2028.

If these plans fall into place, speculation is rife that Anil Ravipudi could attempt something unprecedented—building a “Sankranthi universe” by revisiting and connecting popular characters like Venky Gowda or Shankara Vara Prasad in his future films. The idea has already ignited curiosity among fans.

Interestingly, during a recent interview, Chiranjeevi expressed his desire to do a cameo in Venkatesh’s upcoming film, further adding fuel to the speculation. Even if the Nagarjuna project materializes later, there is a strong possibility that Anil Ravipudi could bring together Venkatesh and Chiranjeevi for special appearances, creating a memorable multi-starrer moment.

Given the massive traction his brand of family entertainers enjoys during the Sankranthi season, such ambitious crossover ideas do not seem far-fetched. For now, all eyes are on how Anil Ravipudi responds to these growing speculations and shapes audience expectations in the years ahead.
