Ravi Babu's Brutal Action Drama 'Razor' Set for May 8 Release

The makers of the film have disclosed that they chose May 8 as the release date as it coincides with the birth anniversary of Ravi Babu's father, the late Chalapathi Rao.

The film, which is being presented by Suresh Babu under Suresh Productions, has been produced by Flying Frogs.

It may be recalled that the film's makers had only recently announced the wrapping up of the film's shooting. To announce the wrapping up of filming, the makers had unveiled a poster along with a special glimpse video.

In the video that was released, Ravi Babu appears in a brutal, violent avatar, killing a villain with a car engine valve cover- establishing the film's raw and savage tone. The teaser features some really violent scenes that include decapitation. The film has a tagline that reads "Justice will be brutal."

'Razor' not only features Ravi Babu in the lead, it is also being directed by him.

The storyline promises to be a first-of-its-kind attempt in Telugu cinema. For the unaware, Ravi Babu, who has always carved his own path in Telugu cinema, constantly reinventing himself as a filmmaker, technician, and actor, is known for his offbeat ideas and fearless experimentation.

His upcoming film 'Razor' marks a sharp shift from the light-hearted tone of his previous film 'Enuguthondam Ghatikachalam'. 'Razor' appears to be set in a world of tension, violence, and psychological intensity.

On the technical front, the film has cinematography by Madhavaneni and music by SS Rajesh. Action sequences for the film have been choreographed by Satish Poloju.

It may be recalled that the makers had earlier unveiled a title glimpse, which drew a terrific response, especially from thriller lovers.

Sources close to the unit of the film say that post-production work is progressing at a brisk pace.
