Ravi Teja, affectionately known as "Mass Maharaja," is experiencing a challenging phase in his career, with six consecutive box office failures. His latest film, Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi, released during the Sankranthi season, failed to meet expectations. The actor's last successful film was Dhamaka in 2022, and since then, he's faced setbacks with films like Ravanasura, Tiger Nageswara Rao, Eagle, Mr. Bachchan, Mass Jathara and now Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi.
Despite the slump, Ravi Teja has signed his next film with director Shiva Nirvana, produced by Mythri Movie Makers. The first look of the film, tentatively titled RT 77, will be released Today, January 26, coinciding with Republic Day and Ravi Teja's birthday. The film promises to be a thriller with a unique storyline, marking a departure from Shiva Nirvana's usual genre. GV Prakash Kumar is composing the music, and Priya Bhavani Shankar might star opposite Ravi Teja.
The announcement poster features a lone tree with black attire hanging from a rope, accompanied by the tagline "His journey of redemption begins tomorrow." Fans are hopeful that this project will help Ravi Teja break his current flop streak. With positive buzz surrounding the film, it's expected to be a strong comeback for the actor.
Insiders report that the film has great potential, and Ravi Teja is excited about the project. With Shiva Nirvana's layered screenplay and compact editing, the film is likely to surprise audiences. Here's hoping for a successful comeback for Ravi Teja with RT 77.
