With "Dhamaka" and "Walter Veeraya," two back-to-back blockbusters, Ravi Teja has been enjoying success. If speculations are to be believed, the actor will soon make his triumphant Bollywood debut. According to the most recent information, there will be one more star present to enhance the significance of his Hindi debut. It is rumoured that Varun Dhawan and Ravi Teja may team up to adapt the popular movie "Maanaadu." The movie will be remade in Telugu and Hindi, with Ravi Teja and Dhawan recreating the parts that were originally played by Silambarasan and S. J. Surya, respectively.

Maanadu's brilliant use of a time loop and main plot device revolutionised Tamil film. The movie was a great financial hit and won rave reviews for its provocative writing and high level of entertainment. 

The team is modifying the script to fit the various environments and appeal to the tastes of the viewers from the various industries. The film will undoubtedly be produced on a much larger scale than Maanaadu, therefore we may anticipate some changes to the screenplay to make it more appropriate for the wider format. The Tamil original was directed by Venkat Prabhu, however it is unclear who would be chosen to lead the Hindi and Telugu versions.

If the rumours are true, this will be one of the most eagerly awaited bilingual productions to come out of Bollywood.

With dubbed versions of his successful Telugu films, Ravi Teja has amassed a sizeable fan base in Hindi. His successful Hindi remakes, including "Kick" with Salman Khan, went on to have a significant influence at the box office. 

Varun Dhawan, meanwhile, has been vocal in recent interviews about his love of southern cinema and want to work in the genre. This would be the ideal project for their reunion.
