Ravi penning a rom-com for Swapna Cinemas

While his ‘Adhugo’ might take some more time to release, filmmaker Ravi Babu has shifted attention to his next. We hear it would be produced by Swapna Dutt, who produced ‘Yevade Subramanyam’ earlier. A source close to the development confirms, “Ravi is writing a rom-com with an unusual element, a factor which drove him to take up another rom-com. He would be ready with the complete draft in a couple of weeks. It would be a Hyderabad-set story but he would not take it to floors until he is convinced with the pre-production.”

The source adds that contrary to rumours, ‘#Pellichoopulu’ sensation Vijay Deverakonda is yet to be narrated the script. “Once Ravi, a producer-friendly director, is through with the script, he would give multiple options to Swapna and it’s her call to pick the lead. As of now, no one has been finalised,” he says, reminding that it was Ravi who introduced Vijay in his film ‘Nuvvvila’ where he played Yami Gautam’s cricketer boyfriend.

What about ‘Adhugo’? He says that it’s currently in post-production and once Ravi gets the required computer graphics, he would lock on the release date. “It might take another couple of months for the film to open.”
