The latest hit, Sankranthiki Vasthunam, has been dominating the box office, and director Anil Ravipudi recently shared an intriguing connection to Superstar Mahesh Babu. According to Ravipudi, it was Mahesh’s influence that helped shape the storyline of this film.
In a recent interview, Ravipudi revealed that after the success of Jailer (starring Rajinikanth), he had a conversation with Mahesh Babu about the possibility of introducing a similar genre in Telugu cinema. Mahesh suggested adding a crime element to films, similar to Jailer, which could offer something fresh and exciting. This inspired Ravipudi to incorporate a mix of crime, kidnapping, and his signature comedy style with the right blend of one hero and two heroines.
The plot of Sankranthiki Vasthunam shares some thematic similarities with Jailer, involving elements of crime and a kidnapping storyline, but Ravipudi brought his unique touch to the narrative. The film, featuring Venkatesh in the lead role, combines the suspense of a crime drama with Ravipudi’s hallmark humor, making it a refreshing and successful addition to Telugu cinema. Fans are now buzzing with excitement, sharing the interview clip where Ravipudi explains Mahesh Babu’s role in influencing the project.
