Popular Telugu actor Ravi Teja, known for his action-comedy roles, is reportedly set to collaborate with director Anudeep KV for a new project titled “Donga – Police” (Thief – Police). This news comes as Ravi Teja is currently filming for “Mr. Bachchan” with director Harish Shankar, following the release of his movie “Eagle” earlier this year.
Anudeep KV rose to fame with the critically acclaimed comedy film “Jathiratnalu.” However, his subsequent project, “Prince” starring Siva Karthikeyan, did not meet with the same success. Undeterred, Anudeep reportedly prepared a new script which impressed Ravi Teja.
According to sources, “Donga – Police” will see Ravi Teja return to his roots, playing the role of a thief or robber. People Media Factory will reportedly bankroll the project. While both Ravi Teja and Anudeep KV are known for their comedic films, their styles differ significantly. This unique pairing has generated curiosity among fans, who are eager to see how their contrasting approaches to humor will blend in the film.
Details regarding the official announcement, cast (aside from Ravi Teja), and release date are yet to be revealed. However, with filming for “Mr. Bachchan” ongoing, it is likely that “Donga – Police” will begin production at a later date.
In the meantime, “Mr. Bachchan” is progressing with Mickey J Meyer composing the music and Ayanka Bose handling cinematography. Avinash Kolla is on board as the art designer, and Bhagya Shri Borse is set to make her Tollywood debut in this Ravi Teja – Harish Shankar collaboration.
