Anil Ravipudi's 'VenkyAnil5' with Venkatesh, Kalyan Ram goes on floors
Hyderabad, June 19
Director Anil Ravipudi's next film starring Daggubati Venkatesh and Nandamuri Kalyan Ram has officially gone on floors, with the makers kickstarting production through a traditional muhurat pooja ceremony in Hyderabad on Thursday, June 18.
Tentatively titled 'VenkyAnil5', the film marks the fifth collaboration between Venkatesh and Ravipudi and has been one of the most anticipated Telugu projects in recent months.
Suresh Productions, on Thursday, shared a video from the launch ceremony on its official Instagram handle, offering fans a glimpse of the cast and crew at the event.
The clip featured Venkatesh, Kalyan Ram and actor Keerthy Suresh, while the accompanying caption read, "ANDDDDD!!!! #VenkyAnil5 - #NKRAR2 Kicks off in Style. Welcoming @keerthysureshofficial and @krithi.shetty_official to the MADNESS."

Although the makers are yet to reveal details about the storyline, earlier announcements have confirmed the principal cast and technical crew. Music for the film will be composed by G.V. Prakash Kumar, whose association with the project was unveiled earlier this month.
The film is being produced by Sahu Garapati under the Shine Screens banner in association with Suresh Productions and Zee Studios.
For Ravipudi, the project reunites him with Kalyan Ram after their successful collaboration on Pataas, which marked the director's debut feature. It also continues his long-running creative partnership with Venkatesh.
Venkatesh was last seen in Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu and is also working on the family drama Aadarsha Kutumbam House No: 47 (AK 47) alongside Srinidhi Shetty. Kalyan Ram, meanwhile, was most recently associated with Arjun S/O Vyjayanthi and Devil.

Happy to see Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram together! But I hope the story has some substance, not just comedy. Telugu cinema needs more meaningful family entertainers these days. Let's see what Anil Ravipudi delivers.
Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty in one film? That's a treat! Anil Ravipudi knows how to blend comedy with mass appeal. Hope this becomes another Sankranthi blockbuster like his previous films! 🎬🙌
Finally! Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram sharing screen space is a dream come true for fans like me. And G.V. Prakash Kumar as music composer – double bonanza! Waiting for more updates on the cast and storyline. 👏
Venkatesh gaaru is still going strong at his age, and Kalyan Ram is on a high after Devil. But Anil Ravipudi needs to avoid his usual dose of double-meaning dialogues. Keep it clean and entertaining for all ages please! 😊
This looks promising! I've enjoyed some Telugu films on streaming platforms, and this pairing seems intriguing. Hope it releases in theaters near me in the US too. Good luck to the team! 🍿
