Telugu star Venkatesh’s film with Anil Ravipudi has gone on floors. The movie, also starring Kalyan Ram, is produced by Sahu Garapati under the Shine Screen banner.

Krithi Shetty and Keerthy Suresh will play the female leads in the Telugu movie. Reports say Keerthy Suresh will be paired opposite Chiranjeevi while Krithi Shetty essays the love interest of Kalyan Ram.

The movie is tentatively titled Venky Anil 5 - NKRAR2. Well-known Tamil composer G V Prakash has been roped in as the music director for the movie.

The film is presented by Suresh Productions and Archana. Zee Studios will co-produce the project. The plot details of the film are yet to be revealed.

The movie is set for a 2027 Sankranthi release. Ravipudi’s last movie was Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. The movie starred Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh.

The Hindu review of the movie said, “The Chiranjeevi–Venkatesh portions are slightly underwhelming, as if the film is weighed down by the expectations that come with pairing two superstars. There are moments that work, though. Chiranjeevi’s restrained portrayal of a brooding family man contrasts

Venkatesh’s gleefully over-the-top turn, and once the two give in to full-blown Sankranti revelry in a dance number, the theatre predictably erupts. The nostalgic nods to their hits from the 80s and 90s also land well.”
