Ravi Teja, who has been facing a string of box office failures in the last two years, has now signed a new film with Kishore Tirumala, a director known for his romantic comedies. Despite his recent flops, Ravi Teja remains one of the few Telugu actors who continue to sign films without hesitation. His resilience in the industry is remarkable, as offers keep pouring in despite setbacks. Currently, he is wrapping up the shoot for his latest film, Mass Jathara, which is nearing completion.\r\nIn an exciting development, Ravi Teja has signed yet another Telugu film with Kishore Tirumala. Tirumala, who last directed Aadavallu Meeku Johaarlu in 2022, took a three-year break to refine his storytelling. Now, he is back with a solid script that has impressed Ravi Teja, leading to an immediate approval. The yet-to-be-titled project is set to be produced by one of Ravi Teja&rsquo;s close associates. Interestingly, though Ravi Teja is considered too old for conventional love stories, the film&rsquo;s romantic track is expected to be hilarious and serve as a major conflict point.\r\nThe film is scheduled to commence shooting in June 2025, and Ravi Teja has allegedly demanded a higher remuneration for this project, reportedly taking home around â‚¹20 crore per film. Apart from this, Ravi Teja is also in discussions with several debut directors, indicating his openness to exploring fresh storytelling perspectives. These projects are expected to be finalized soon, adding more excitement to his already packed schedule.\r\nWith his upcoming lineup of films, it remains to be seen how Kishore Tirumala will shape Ravi Teja&rsquo;s next venture.

Unni Mukundan\'s Marco directed by Haneef Adeni left all shellshocked with the extreme violence. The film however, went on to collect more than Rs 100crs at the box office.\r\nMalayalam director Abhilash VC condemned Unni Mukundan\'s Marco. Sharing his thoughts he posted &ldquo;\'Marco\' was seen only till the break time in the theater. \"There is no violence like this one is saying\" yesterday, I was about to see the rest of the day. There is a request that the people who made this anti-social creation and those who praised it should examine their mental status. \'Why are you ready to see this? \'Didn\'t he succeed in theatres? Beyond the questions \', this product is a dark chapter in the history of Indian cinema and a great social crime for the audience in me. I have never seen such a devilish/inhuman expression in any Korean movie..! The head of a little boy I had to see how the paste is turned into a rough paste using gas cylinder..! I also had to see a foetus crying from inside the stomach of a pregnant woman..! Even if it is argued that these are common in this society, the only result Marco produces is sadism.&rdquo;\r\nHe continued &ldquo;The filmmaker and the audience in me do not have an argument that cinema should only be a re-production of purity. I like crime-thriller movies too, dream. But due to creations like Marco, the sensor board\'s \'interference\' will be higher than it is now. There will be a situation where even the natural crime scenes in the story of movies will be questioned tomorrow. Now after a long time&hellip;Those who created this would have come to any interview with guilt and say \'shouldn\'t have\'. By then, this poisonous offspring labeled as Art would have given energy to the baseless interpretation that cinema is the cause of all the bad things in the land!&rdquo;.\r\nHe added &ldquo;That\'s right, we also have movies that promote western slasher/brutality at our fingertips today. Our art is not to follow it just because it is. If a movie that supports pedophilia is taken tomorrow, will we be able to interpret it as art and give permission to show? The general society and the film fraternity as a whole. This poisonous snake should be repelled. Note: This is the first time since becoming a filmmaker that I am saying something negative about something that came out under the name of \'cinema\'. Confirming that \'there is no violence like this one says\', the friend who inspired me to watch the second half has also openly admitted today that he had only seen this \'item\' till the first half!&rdquo;\r\n--
