Y. Ravi Shankar

Y. Ravi Shankar, a dude who’s been quietly dropping bangers in Telugu cinema, really knows his way around a blockbuster. You might’ve heard his name pop up with “Rangasthalam” back in 2018 – that one was an absolute riot, packed with raw energy and just the right amount of old-school drama. Then, boom, he’s back at it with “Pushpa: The Rise – Part 1” in 2021. That movie? Wild ride. Gritty, stylish, and totally addictive, with Allu Arjun strutting through forests and chaos like he owns the place. Shankar’s knack for picking projects that hit you right in the feels (and also in the face with some pretty intense action) is kinda nuts. Before all that, he was part of “Srimanthudu” in 2015. That film was massive, not just for its box office numbers but for actually making people talk about giving back to society. Like, who does that? Usually, you just go to the movies for a good time, but Shankar’s projects sneak up and make you think a little. Off the screen, he’s married to Radhika Nettam – not much drama there, just a regular couple, which is kinda refreshing considering how wild showbiz gets. He’s not the in-your-face, red carpet type. More like the low-key producer who lets the work do the talking. And honestly, considering the impact his films have had, that approach is working just fine for him. If you’re looking for someone shaping the Telugu film scene without making a big fuss, Shankar’s your guy.
