He made it clear that he has not even started writing the next script yet, and that the official announcement will be made only after all the details are finalized.

Rumors are rife that the director’s next film will feature Venkatesh and Fahadh Faasil in the lead roles, and a few names are also expected to be among the possible female leads. However, Anil Ravipudi neither confirmed nor denied any casting, maintaining that nothing has been locked down so far.

The director stated that he was happy to see the excitement and curiosity in the audience and thanked the fans for their enthusiasm. Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu’s record-breaking success has naturally raised expectations and led to rampant speculation about his next move.
