Ravi Teja returns to the set of Krack

The makers of the Telugu film Krack revealed today that they have resumed shooting for the project in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. The lockdown had brought the production to a standstill in March.

While Ravi Teja, star of the film, has also joined the set, Shruti Haasan, who is currently wrapping up her portion of the Tamil film Laabam, is expected to join soon.

Sharing the latest poster, director Gopichand Malineni tweeted, "We are so happy to resume our shoot with so much of happiness and with great energy around us. We thank u from the heart for the greatest support. All the updates will follow on very soon (sic)."

Ravi Teja also tweeted: “Shoot resumes today (sic).”

Krack marks the third collaboration of Ravi Teja and Malineni after Don Seenu (2010) and Balupu (2016). The project also marks the second time Ravi Teja and Shruti Haasan are working together after Balupu.

Tipped to be an action thriller, the film will see Ravi Teja play a policeman. Recent reports suggested that the film is a remake of the Tamil film Theri (2016), which featured Vijay as a cop. However, director Malineni clarified via Twitter that his film is not a remake.

Recently, rumours had also said Krack would skip a theatrical release and head the OTT way. Reacting to the news, Malineni told the Hindustan Times newspaper that the “news is false”.

“We have no plans for an OTT release. We will wait for the theatrical release,” Malineni said.

Krack also stars Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, Samuthirakani, Ali, Devi Prasad, Chirag Jani, Mouryani, Sudhakar and Vamsi Chaganti.
