Hyderabad witnessed a significant event in Telugu cinema today as Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja’s highly anticipated ‘RT76’ officially commenced its journey with a traditional pooja ceremony and muhurat shot. The film, tentatively titled ‘RT76,’ is set to be a grand Sankranthi 2026 release, promising an “entertaining ride” for audiences.
This marks the first collaboration between the dynamic actor Ravi Teja and director Tirumala Kishore, known for his ability to craft engaging family entertainers. The project is being bankrolled by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the prestigious SLV Cinemas banner.
The announcement was met with considerable excitement, amplified by the release of a striking first-look poster. The poster features Ravi Teja in a remarkably stylish avatar, seated in an aircraft, holding a wine bottle in one hand and a Spanish book in the other, hinting at a sophisticated and intriguing character. This fresh look has already generated significant buzz across social media.
While specific plot details remain under wraps, the makers have assured that ‘RT76’ will be a full-length mass entertainer, blending action, humor, and drama – elements that are synonymous with Ravi Teja’s successful career. Director Tirumala Kishore is said to have penned a story that will resonate with audiences across all age groups, showcasing Ravi Teja at his absolute best.
The technical crew for ‘RT76’ boasts an impressive lineup of industry veterans. Bheems Ceciroleo, who previously delivered chartbuster music for Ravi Teja’s blockbuster ‘Dhamaka,’ will compose the soundtrack. Prasad Murella will handle the cinematography, while National Award-winning editor Sreekar Prasad will be responsible for the editing. AS Prakash is on board as the production designer.
The regular shooting for ‘RT76’ is scheduled to commence on June 16 in Hyderabad. The decision to release the film during the Sankranthi 2026 festive season positions it for a potentially massive box office run, as the period is known for high-profile Telugu film releases. Interestingly, early reports suggest a potential box office clash with Megastar Chiranjeevi’s upcoming comedy film, also slated for a Sankranthi 2026 release.
Fans of Ravi Teja have another treat in store before ‘RT76’ hits the screens. His next film, ‘Mass Jathara,’ directed by debutant Bhanu Bhogavarapu and co-starring Sreeleela, is scheduled for release on August 27, 2025. This action-packed drama was initially planned for an earlier release but was strategically pushed to avoid conflicts with other major films.
With ‘RT76’ officially launched and a promising team behind it, expectations are soaring for this new venture that aims to deliver a compelling narrative combined with Ravi Teja’s signature energy and entertainment value.
