Ravi Teja’s Next: Tulaabhara After Rs. 232.05 Cr Irumudi

Ravi Teja is riding a fresh wave of goodwill. His most recent release, Irumudi, gave fans the emotional family story they had been waiting for, and now the Telugu star is moving toward a very different kind of project with director Vivek Athreya.

A reported title with a darker shade

The new film is likely to be called Tulaabhara, according to a Moneycontrol report cited by The Times of India. That title has not been confirmed by the makers. But the buzz around it points to a project that could push Ravi Teja out of his comfort zone.

The film is said to carry a horror backdrop. Vivek Athreya, whose last film Saripodhaa Sanivaaram mixed action with a distinctive premise, is reportedly attempting something new with the story.

A script that changed hands

The project’s journey is interesting on its own. The story was reportedly not originally developed for Ravi Teja. Vivek Athreya is said to have first worked on it with Nandamuri Balakrishna in mind. When that version did not move forward, he reworked the script and approached Ravi Teja. The actor liked what he heard and agreed to come on board.

That kind of second-life script can work well when a director has had time to rethink the material for a new lead.

Who else is in the frame

Anaswara Rajan and Priyanka Mohan are also being linked to the project. As with the title, the complete cast and technical team have not been officially announced. Regular shooting is expected to begin after the film’s formal launch, so the coming weeks should bring more clarity.

Why fans should pay attention

Ravi Teja enters this film with serious momentum. Irumudi, directed by Shiva Nirvana, told the story of a father who undertakes a sacred Ayyappa Deeksha at his young daughter’s request. Positive word of mouth helped the film become a talking point among family audiences, and it is now streaming on Netflix in multiple languages.

• Irumudi was reportedly made on a budget of over Rs. 40 crore.
• Its worldwide collection crossed Rs. 232.05 crore, according to Sacnilk.
• Vivek Athreya’s Saripodhaa Sanivaaram with Nani entered the Rs. 100 crore club.

All of that makes the reported horror turn feel less like a random detour and more like a deliberate attempt to keep the actor’s comeback interesting.

Right now, the best move for fans is to wait for the production house to confirm the title, cast and schedule. If Tulaabhara sticks, it will signal a tonal shift worth watching.
