Ravi Teja’s Children Embark on New Ventures

Hyderabad, India – While rumors have been rife about Ravi Teja’s son, Mahadhan, making his acting debut in Tollywood, the young talent has chosen a different path. Instead of following in his father’s footsteps, Mahadhan is set to make his mark as a director.

After gaining valuable experience as an assistant director under acclaimed filmmaker Sandeep Vanga, Mahadhan is poised to embark on his directorial journey. While this decision has garnered mixed reactions from fans, some admire his ambition and believe his unique perspective can bring fresh ideas to Telugu cinema. Others, however, express disappointment that he won’t be an actor like his father.

Meanwhile, Ravi Teja’s daughter, Mokshadha Bhupatiraju, is also making her presence felt in the industry behind the scenes. She has been actively involved in production under the Sitara Entertainments banner and is rumored to be taking on a significant role in a film’s production. Speculations are rife that she may even venture into starting her own production company in the future, focusing on smaller, more niche projects.

As both Mahadhan and Mokshadha prepare to enter the industry, fans are eagerly awaiting their contributions. With their father’s legacy and their own unique talents, they are sure to make a significant impact on Tollywood.
