One of the most successful directors of Tollywood, Anil Ravipudi has created his mark in the Telugu film industry with five consecutive hits, namely Mr. Perfect, Kandireega, F2: Fun and Frustration, Sarileru Neekevvaru, Gali Sampath. Now 39 years old, the movie maker is aiming at his sixth succeeding hit with the upcoming multi-starrer F3, with Venkatesh and Varun Tej. In a recent interaction with the media, he explained the importance of humour, his movie entrance and his journey to the film industry. Here are some excerpts.
Backbencher In College
Anil Ravipudi used to be a backbencher in college without having any recognition. Then he got an opportunity to play a skit while studying B. Tech, which he received a good applause. It is the time when he decided that he will work in the film industry.
Only then, got his first chance..
He went to Hyderabad and assisted his uncle PA Arun Prasad for his film Gowtam SSC. But his movie journey is not a bed of roses; he had to face many struggles. Initially, he worked as an assistant director for movies like Mr.Perfect, Aagadu and craved for a chance to make one film to lure the audience to theatres. It was only in 2015, he bagged a chance to direct a movie, Pataas.
He learned the skill from Jandhyala
Anil disclosed that he has great influence from Jandhyala. Especially, his movies like Raja The Great, F2: Fun & Frustration and Sarileru Neekevvaru have some rib-tickling humour and went on to become box-office hits too. Inserting such lively characters that we see regularly in life is the skill he learned from Jandhyala. All he dreams of is that a common man should see his reflection in his films, relate himself with the characters.
Anil Ravipudi never expects this!
Even being highly successful, he never expected everyone would like his films. He even receives criticism and trolling over his style but only chooses to work harder every single day and get better with each film. He will stop directing films on the very day, when the audience stops enjoying his style of films, Anil Ravipudi concluded!
