Tollywood actor Ravi Teja and director Gopichand Malineni have teamed up twice so far for Don Seenu in 2010 and Balupu in 2013, and both these films had turned out to be blockbuster hits. And the duo is now planning to work together for the third time. According to reports doing the rounds, Gopichand recently came up with a one-liner for Ravi Teja, and impressed by it the actor has asked the director to complete the entire script to get his go ahead. If things go well, this project may go on the floors in September this year, say sources.
Meanwhile, Ravi Teja will soon be completing Disco Raja. There were reports earlier that this project was being dropped following differences of opinion between the actor and director. The producer of Disco Raja wanted to bring down the cost of production from Rs 40 crore to Rs 30 crore, following which some changes were made in the script. This did not go down well with Ravi Teja due to which the shooting was put on hold. But all that has been sorted out now and we hear that the shooting has resumed.
Produced by Ram Talluri, Disco Raja is directed by Vi Anand of Oka Kshanam and Ekadiki Pothavu Chinnavada fame. According to reports, Disco Raja is a science fiction film, a genre that is sure to bring in the crowds to theatres. Three leading ladies – Nabha Natesh, Payal Rajput and Priyanka Jawalkar – have been roped in to share screen space with Ravi Teja.
With Ravi Teja not able to come up with a hit film in the past few years, he is desperately in need of a big hit. Will Disco Raja be the breakthrough film for the star? Well, to know the results we need to wait a couple more months.
