Life is a strange thing and not bound by any set-logic.

Ravi Teja knows that. It was just a few years ago when he had difficulty in getting a single scene in Nagarjuna-Tabu starrer (remember the scene Ravi Teja gets beaten up on the disco floor for trying to get cozy with Tabu?). But those were different days. Now Ravi Teja has risen to such a level that he is being paired with somebody no less than Nagarjuna himself. The script for Puri Jagan's film with Nags and Ravi Teja in the lead is ready and the film is all set to go on the floors.

So what is the secret behind this transformation. There is no secret but just that old-fashioned sweat, guts and sincerity.

Ravi Teja is reaping the benefits of perseverance and poise. Now he is on an almost unstoppable winning streak. Venkee, his last release, was a major hit. And his next release, Autograph, may also be one. The film is almost complete and the response in the film circuit has been quite positive.

Ravi Teja is also getting down to do a movie with Varsham director Shoban.

Reflecting the essential ethos and spirit of the man, the films muhurat was an egalitarian affair. A light boy gave the first clap, a production boy switched on the camera and a sound recordist was at hand to direct the first shot. Of course, this was a decision of the production team. But it somehow seemed appropriate that such a thing should happen in a Ravi Teja's film.

He is an unquestionable mass hero. And naturally masses have a say in his film.
