After Rajamouli, It’s Anil Ravipudi Who’s Making Waves in Telugu Cinema

In Telugu cinema, the director is often referred to as the captain of the ship, and rightly so. From developing a script to executing it on set, managing budgets, and delivering the film on time, the success of a movie largely depends on the director’s efficiency and vision. Whether it is a star hero or a young actor, a film can turn into a hit only when the director handles every aspect with precision.

Among Telugu filmmakers, SS Rajamouli stands tall as a director who has never tasted failure. A film carrying Rajamouli’s stamp is almost guaranteed to be a blockbuster. With Baahubali, he took Telugu cinema to a global stage and placed it alongside world cinema. His grand vision, massive budgets, and long production timelines often spanning three to four years result in cinematic experiences that justify the scale and expectations.

While Rajamouli continues to deliver larger-than-life spectacles, another director has been consistently delivering success in a completely different space Anil Ravipudi. After Rajamouli, Anil Ravipudi has emerged as one of the most successful and undefeated directors in Telugu cinema.

Anil Ravipudi’s Consistent Success Streak

Starting from Patas, Anil Ravipudi has maintained an impressive success streak, turning all his nine films into hits, including his latest release Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu. His approach is simple yet effective strong entertainment rooted in simple stories that connect with audiences instantly.

Unlike Rajamouli’s big-scale films, Anil Ravipudi focuses on budget-friendly projects completed within planned timelines. His films are designed primarily for family audiences, making them perfect festive entertainers. At a time when it is often said that family audiences are drifting away from theatres, Anil Ravipudi’s films especially during festival seasons like Sankranti continue to draw crowds in large numbers.

Two Directors, Two Paths, One Common Success

This is not a comparison, but a celebration of two different filmmaking styles. Rajamouli takes Telugu cinema to international markets with films that collect ₹400–500 crores, while Anil Ravipudi dominates the festive box office with consistent, crowd-pleasing entertainers.

What unites both directors is their commitment to cinema, clarity in storytelling, and perfection in execution. Neither has faced a failure so far, and both continue to entertain audiences in their own unique ways.

With Rajamouli delivering grand cinematic spectacles and Anil Ravipudi providing wholesome family entertainers, Telugu cinema is in safe hands. Audiences hope both these filmmakers continue their remarkable journeys and deliver many more successful films to the industry.
