Anil Ravipudi has delivered the biggest hit of this Sankranthi with Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, starring Venkatesh, which is quickly approaching the 250 crore mark.
As the director marks 10 years in the industry on January 23rd, he reflects on his journey filled with nothing but highs.
"With each new film, I’ve climbed to new heights, and this Pongal, Sankranthiki Vasthunnam has given me an extraordinary success. I am deeply grateful to the audiences for their unwavering love and support. The film has achieved an incredible milestone, crossing a 100 crore share in just six days and surpassing 200 crores within a week. This is truly a landmark moment in my career."
For Anil, the love and support from the audiences are his greatest wealth.
"With every film, I feel my wealth is growing, and with Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, the audience has once again shown me the true value of that wealth. In terms of audience love, I consider myself a multi-millionaire."
The director admits that he didn’t expect such overwhelming success for Sankranthiki Vasthunnam.
"I simply aimed to make an entertaining film, much like F2. I never anticipated it would exceed expectations the way it has. Even on the eighth day, the revenue figures have been surprising. The final numbers will leave everyone in awe. This success is a clear verdict from the audiences in favor of Venkatesh and our entire team."
Responding to producers Dil Raju and Shirish, who gave him full credit for the film’s success, Anil insists, “The credit goes entirely to the audience. Dil Raju has been behind so many big successes, and with this film, the audiences have gifted him another massive hit.”
Looking ahead, Anil reveals that he’s already working on the script for his next project with Megastar Chiranjeevi and expresses his desire to make a Hello Brother like entertainer with Nagarjuna.
