Shruti Haasan Exclusive Interview

Actor, director, and screenwriter Ravi Babu is making a comeback to the screen with his latest project, the action thriller film ‘Rush’ scheduled for release on ETV Win on June 13th, 2024. This marks his return after a brief hiatus.

Ravi Babu is a multifaceted talent within the Telugu film industry. He is recognized for his comedic timing as an actor, having delivered captivating performances in films like ‘Allari’ and ‘Party’. However, his true passion lies in directing. He has helmed several successful films, including ‘Anasuya’ and ‘Amaravathi’, showcasing his creative vision and directorial prowess.

Babu is known for his willingness to experiment with his filmmaking approach. While some of these creative ventures haven’t achieved commercial success, his dedication to pushing boundaries and exploring new storytelling techniques has earned him respect within the industry. He is widely regarded as one of the finest technicians working in Telugu cinema today.

In a recent interview, Ravi Babu sparked conversation with his comments regarding the current trend of “Pan-Indian” films. He expressed his reservations about the term itself, questioning its true meaning. Babu argues that films like ‘Mayabazar’ and ‘Lava Kusa’ achieved national success in the past without the need for this specific label. He emphasizes that the core element for nationwide appeal lies in the content itself, its ability to resonate with audiences across India. Ravi Babu views the concept of “Pan-Indian” as overused and somewhat nonsensical.

‘Rush’ is an action thriller produced by Ravi Babu himself. The film is directed by Satish Poloju, who also serves as the action choreographer. Sudhakar Reddy handles the cinematography for the project. With his return to directing and his thought-provoking stance on “Pan-Indian” films, Ravi Babu remains a significant figure within the Telugu film industry.
