Young and talented director Anil Ravipudi scored four back to back commercial hits in a row which rarely happened in Telugu cinema. His consistency and commercial perspective made him bag an opportunity to work with Superstar Mahesh Babu in his next. Industry circles laughed loud after Anil Ravipudi bagged an opportunity to direct Superstar Mahesh Babu. Several witty comments reached him but he was not much bothered and worked with utmost dedication.
After the super success of F2 and after the official announcement was made about Sarileru Neekevvaru, several had to shut their mouths. Sarileru Neekevvaru did not happen overnight. Anil Ravipudi took his time, worked hard and penned out the best script that suited Superstar. Mahesh was extremely thrilled with the heroism, mass elements and entertainment in the script.
Anil Ravipudi right after locking the script worked on every minute detail. For example, a massive set of Kurnool’s Kondareddy Buruju was erected in Ramoji Film City. He stayed in Kurnool and brought the replica to Ramoji Film City. Right from the streets around, everything was the same in the set. Designing the characters of Mahesh Babu, Vijayashanthi and Prakash Raj was the biggest challenge.
Anil made sure that he did not miss the heroism and penned the episodes without deviating the major plot. With Sarileru Neekevvaru carrying exceptional buzz, several desperate filmmakers are behind Anil Ravipudi to lock him for their next. The talented director as of now is focused on the post-production work of Sarileru Neekevvaru and kept many in waiting. We have to wait till January 2020 to know about his next film.
