Last year, Ravi Teja had a huge hit with "Dhamaka." He was a key player in this year's biggest hit, "Waltair Veerayya." Despite two major successes, his upcoming film has yet to gain traction.
The songs from "Dhamaka" contributed to the film's success. Sreeleela is also a factor in the opening numbers.
"Dasara" saw massive openings thanks to the song "Chamkila Angilesi" and aggressive promotion by Nani. The "Dasara" team was successful in creating enough buzz to entice people to watch it.
However, Ravi Teja has yet to launch aggressive marketing for "Ravanasura," which is set to hit theaters next week (April 7). He is hoping that the trailer for the film will do the trick. The trailer has already received positive feedback.
Despite the fact that the film has five heroines, none of them have the same draw as Sreeleela. The songs have yet to gain popularity.
It will be interesting to see how Ravi Teja brings hype to this film.
