Sankranthiki Vasthunnam is a smash hit at the box office and has shocked the trade big time. No other senior actor in the Telugu film industry has a Rs 300 crore film to date, and this feat has been achieved by Venkatesh and director Anil Ravipudi.

The family drama was not dubbed in any other language but still made over Rs 170 crore net, setting a sensational new record for Telugu cinema. The comedy caper is still raking in big numbers at the box office. All of this success is thanks to director Anil Ravipudi and the way he crafted a clean, entertaining film.

Things have now gone to the next level, as Anil Ravipudi is all set to direct Megastar Chiranjeevi for his next project, and we at OTTplay have already reported on the same. We now have some more exciting updates about the film. The latest update is that the Chiranjeevi film will be completed in 80 days. Anil has planned the project in such a way that he will wrap up filming in a short time. Anil is one of the few producer-friendly directors who can make films on low budgets.

The news also indicates that the Chiranjeevi film will be made on a limited budget. This is a challenge, as Chiranjeevi’s remuneration will easily exceed Rs 20 crore, and the remaining production costs will be substantial. However, Anil believes he can still make this big film on a tight budget, proving that with proper planning, large-scale films can be made affordably and still rake in big profits. Sankranthiki Vasthunnam was made on a budget of Rs 54 crore and grossed over Rs 170 crore. Dil Raju himself will see a profit of over Rs 100 crore after all expenses.
