Is Ravi Teja’s RT76 a Family Surprise? A Refreshing Genre Shift on the Cards
Known for his high-octane mass entertainers, Ravi Teja is now steering into new territory with his upcoming film, tentatively titled RT76. After the lukewarm response to Mr. Bachchan and a few other recent outings, the Mass Maharaja is teaming up with director Kishore Tirumala for what is shaping up to be a full-fledged family drama.
The film, produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner, recently went on floors in Hyderabad. The shoot has commenced on a specially designed set, capturing key emotional scenes involving Ravi Teja and the lead cast.
Kishore Tirumala, who has a reputation for blending humor with heartfelt emotion (Nenu Sailaja, Red), is expected to bring a similar tone to this project. Adding to the anticipation is Ravi Teja’s fresh new look, which hints at a softer, more grounded character.
Music for RT76 is being composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, who previously worked with Ravi Teja on Dhamaka. With the makers aiming for a Sankranthi 2026 release, the family-centric theme could strike a chord with festive audiences.
Meanwhile, Ravi Teja’s more traditional entertainer, Mass Jatara, co-starring Sreeleela, is on track for an August 27 release. While Mass Jatara promises the actor’s trademark energy and action, RT76 could be the refreshing reset his career needs.
