Ravi Teja, fondly known as the Mass Maharaja of Telugu cinema, is one of the few stars who built his career entirely on his own merit. Without any family background in films, he rose to stardom through sheer determination, charisma, and his signature high-energy performances. Now, the next generation of his family is quietly making its way into the world of cinema.
The actor is currently promoting his upcoming film Mass Jathara, directed by Bhanu Bhogavarapu and produced by Naga Vamsi under Sithara Entertainments. As part of the promotional campaign, Ravi Teja and Bhanu recently engaged in a candid conversation with director Venky Atluri, known for Tholi Prema, Sir, and Lucky Baskhar. During their chat, Venky revealed an interesting update about Ravi Teja’s son, Mahadhan.
Venky shared that Mahadhan, who made his on-screen debut as the younger version of Ravi Teja in Raja The Great, has now chosen to work behind the camera. He is currently assisting the team of Suriya’s upcoming film as an associate director, gaining valuable hands-on experience in filmmaking. When Venky mentioned this, Ravi Teja lightheartedly asked him about his experience working with his son, to which Venky replied that it felt completely natural — after all, Mahadhan had grown up on film sets.
When asked about his son’s acting debut, Ravi Teja said he isn’t planning anything at the moment and prefers to let things evolve organically. Interestingly, he added that his daughter Mokshadha has taken on the responsibility of overseeing her brother’s journey.
Mokshadha, meanwhile, seems more inclined toward the production side of the industry. She is currently working as an executive producer on Takshakudu, an upcoming Netflix original film starring Anand Deverakonda and directed by Vinod Anantoju, produced by Sithara Entertainments. Reports suggest that she may soon take charge of Ravi Teja’s own banner, RT Team Works.
On the professional front, Ravi Teja is simultaneously shooting for his next project, reportedly titled Bharat Mahaseyalaku Vignapthi, directed by Kishore Tirumala. He is also in advanced discussions for future collaborations with directors Shiva Nirvana and Kalyan Shankar.
With both of his children stepping into the film industry in their own unique ways, it seems the Mass Maharaja’s legacy is well on its way to continuing — both in front of and behind the camera.
