Anil Ravipudi has achieved eight straight commercial successes, and in Gulte’s Directors Roundtable 2025 he opens up about the process guiding his filmmaking. The roundtable also features notable voices from the industry, including Deva Katta, Chandoo Mondeti, Sailesh Kolanu, and newcomers Ram Jagadish (Court) and Sai Marthand (Little Hearts).
Ravipudi explains that a director’s judgment isn’t a single, solitary moment; it evolves across pre-production to release. He reveals how he self-evaluates his films before they ever hit theaters.
“For my films, the judgment doesn’t come from me alone. At the script stage, I sit with a group of people and observe their reactions. I can’t wait for the release to know whether something is working,” he said.
He emphasizes the value of exposing his work to a broad audience. “Some filmmakers may hesitate to screen their films to others, but I’m open to showing scenes to anyone, even someone who isn’t a strong critic. I watch their responses, their laughs, and I make corrections if needed.”
Ravipudi notes that comedy is especially tricky to judge. “Reactions on two consecutive days can be completely different, which can be confusing. This happened with my last film Sankranthiki Vasthunnam as well. In such moments, you rely on instinct.”
During the roundtable, he also discusses the logistical hurdles of modern filmmaking, the evolving landscape shaped by AI, and the growing influence of negative trends on social media. He briefly touches on the progress of his upcoming project Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, starring Chiranjeevi and Venkatesh.
