Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is teaming up with a Telugu filmmaker again after a gap of several years. The project, a horror thriller titled Scary Picture, was officially announced on Friday, with Ravi Babu coming on board as director. Known for films that rarely follow the usual formula, Ravi Babu has made a name for himself with his unconventional approach to storytelling, particularly in the horror genre.
The film will be presented by D. Ramanaidu and jointly produced by Suresh Babu and Ravi Babu under the Suresh Productions and Flying Frogs banners. Horror isn’t unfamiliar territory for Ravi Babu, who has directed several thrillers over the years. Kangana, too, has appeared in films such as Raaz: The Mystery Continues and Chandramukhi 2. But there’s still plenty of curiosity about what sort of character she’ll be playing in Scary Picture and what Ravi Babu has planned for her.
The makers have confirmed that the film is expected to reach theatres in 2027. There’s also a bit of history behind this collaboration. Kangana previously worked with Prabhas in Puri Jagannadh’s Ek Niranjan, and Scary Picture marks her return to working with a Telugu director after 17 years.
