Anil Ravipudi is one of the few directors in the industry who has never experienced a film's failure in his career. He has directed five films until now, and all of them have become super-hits at the box office. His directorial ventures Pataas, Supreme, Raja The Great, F2 and Sarileru Neekevvaru became successful and made Anil Ravipudi a star director. Currently, Anil is working on F2's sequel, F3. From the last few months, it is being rumored that F3 will feature another lead hero along with
Daggubati Venkatesh and
Varun Tej. It was said that either
Ravi Teja or
Mahesh Babu would essay this role. But Anil says that there will be no other hero in the film and confirmed that Venkatesh and Varun Tej will only be the lead heroes of it.
Speaking in a recent interview, Anil said that there is no truth in the rumours that there will be another hero in F3. He said that F3 will be a sequel with a different story and set up. It will, nonetheless, feature Venkatesh and Varun Tej in their respective roles.
Mehrene Kaur Pirzada and
Tamannaah will also reprise their roles as the leading ladies. Dil Raju will bankroll the project. The regular shoot of the film will commence soon. Currently, Anil is working on the script, along with his team.
Meanwhile, Venkatesh is currently shooting for Narappa which is being directed by Srikanth Addala. This is an official Telugu remake of the Tamil hit Asuran. On the flip side, Varun Tej is acting in a boxing drama directed by Kiran Korrapati.
