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.

Following the phenomenal success of his recent film “Animal,” Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up for his next project, the highly anticipated mythological epic “Ramayana.” Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film demands a specific physical transformation from Kapoor, and the actor has dedicated himself to achieving the perfect physique.

Ranbir’s personal trainer, Shivoham, recently shared a series of photos on social media showcasing the actor’s remarkable physical journey over the past three years. The contrasting images depict Kapoor’s muscular build for “Animal” and his current physique, sculpted specifically for his role in “Ramayana.”

Shivoham’s accompanying caption emphasizes the importance of hard work, discipline, and a clear vision in achieving one’s goals. He acknowledges the extensive planning and structure that went into Ranbir’s transformation but underscores the crucial role of willpower, discipline, and unwavering determination in reaching the desired outcome. He concludes by wishing Ranbir the very best for “Ramayana’s” success.

While casting details remain largely unconfirmed, reports suggest that Ranbir Kapoor will portray Lord Rama, the central protagonist of the epic. Sai Pallavi is expected to take on the role of Sita, Rama’s wife. Other rumored castings include Yash as the antagonist Ravana, Sunny Deol as Hanuman, Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi, Vijay Sethupathi as Vibishana, and Rakul Preet Singh as Surpanakha. The music for “Ramayana” is also shrouded in intrigue, with speculation suggesting a potential collaboration between A. R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer, two musical giants.

With its star-studded cast, renowned director, and Ranbir Kapoor’s dedicated physical transformation, “Ramayana” has emerged as one of the most highly anticipated Indian film projects. The official casting announcements and release date are yet to be revealed, but the buzz surrounding the film is undeniable.
