Ravi Teja to give life to BVS Ravi? - JustTollywood.com News

Though a director failed to give the hero a hit, encouraging the same director and giving him the necessary break is something interesting. Yes, we are taking about Raviteja.Though Harish Shankar made his debut as director with ‘Shock’ featuring Raviteja as hero, the film proved a dud at the Box Office.However, Raviteja did not jump into depression and at the same time, gave the director another chance to prove himself and the end-result is ‘Mirapakai’, which was a big hit with Harish Shankar wielding the megaphone.The success and break for the director is such that he bagged an offer to direct Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s Gabbar Singh for his next movie.

This proves that Raviteja believes that a director who gave a flop could also give a big hit if he was given another chance to prove himself. BVS Ravi, who penned scripts and dialogues for several films in Tollywood, turned a director with ‘Wanted’ featuring Gopichand as hero. However, the film failed to prove at the box office. Raviteja reportedly told him that he would play hero for his next film and told him to prepare an impressive story for him.Let us wait and watch, how BVS Ravi would utilise this opportunity.Thanks for Raviteja for his kind behaviour.
