Filmmaker Anil Ravipudi has officially stepped forward to put an end to persistent rumors regarding a potential upcoming collaboration with Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. The two previously teamed up for the commercial success *Sarileru Neekevvaru*, prompting recent media speculation that they were planning to reunite. According to the circulating reports, the actor was supposedly looking to squeeze in a fast-paced project with the hitmaker right after wrapping up his current massive commitments, generating a wave of debate among excited fans across social media platforms.
While some followers welcomed the possibility of a lighter, quicker venture, a significant portion of the fan base argued that the actor should exclusively target massive, high-budget event films moving forward. These discussions gained enough traction to dominate entertainment news circles over the past few days. However, Anil Ravipudi has firmly dismissed all such claims as entirely baseless, using social media to set the record straight and urging both the press and devoted supporters to disregard the fabricated stories.
In a direct statement shared on the platform X, the director expressed deep admiration and affection for Mahesh Babu, emphasizing that the circulating gossip held no truth. Meanwhile, the filmmaker is currently occupied with his own professional slate, directing an upcoming project titled *January 12 Vidudala* which features Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram. As for Mahesh Babu, the superstar remains intensely focused on his current blockbuster venture, a massive, globe-trotting adventure directed by S.S. Rajamouli tentatively titled *Varanasi*, which is slated for a theatrical release in April 2027.
