You’ve Never Seen Ravi Teja in This Avatar Before”: Director Siva Nirvana on ‘Irumudi Kattu’ !

Chennai, August 23, 2026: Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja has teamed up with director Siva Nirvana for Irumudi Kattu, an emotionally engaging film centred on family, faith and transformation.

Presented by T-Series Films and produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y. Ravi Shankar under the banner of Mythri Movie Makers, Irumudi Kattu was released worldwide in theatres on August 21. A press meet was held in Chennai following the film’s release.

Producer Y. Ravi Shankar

Director Siva narrated the story to us with three distinct layers — thriller, family drama and spirituality. We were surprised and wondered how all three could work together. But Siva executed it beautifully in the film.

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja, Priya Bhavani Shankar and the entire technical team have delivered excellent work.

We believe audiences across South India will enjoy this cult classic in theatres. The fact that Lord Ayyappa himself seems to have chosen director Siva Nirvana to make this film is truly special. Watch the film and share your thoughts.

Writer Vijay Balaji

I have already worked on two films with Mythri Movie Makers. This is a story that revolves around three fathers.

One of the biggest strengths of this film is the music by G.V. Prakash Kumar. Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja has come to Chennai on the occasion of Madras Day.

I am confident that the film will appeal to everyone.

Lyricist Balaji Venugopal

Writing a song for Ravi Teja sir is something I never imagined even in my dreams.

I strongly believe that audiences will celebrate this film. I am very happy about Priya Bhavani Shankar’s success.

The climax moved me deeply. All three songs that I have written for the film are important songs that are closely integrated with the story.

I am sure the film will be loved by everyone.

Cinematographer Vishnu Sharma

It is a great honour to have worked on a film starring Ravi Teja sir.

Siva sir has presented the story beautifully. I am confident that Irumudi Kattu will offer Tamil audiences a completely new and refreshing cinematic experience.

Child Artist Nakshatra

This film is very special to me. I would like to thank director Siva sir, Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja sir, Priya Bhavani Shankar and the entire film team for giving me this wonderful opportunity.

Actress Priya Bhavani Shankar

When I first heard the story, I immediately developed tremendous confidence in the film.

When G.V. Prakash Kumar came on board as the music composer, I became certain that the songs would become a huge hit.

Despite being a film featuring such a big hero, director Siva did not make any changes to the story during the shoot. He stayed true to the story he originally narrated.

I am proud to be a part of this film. Working with Ravi Teja sir was an unforgettable experience.

Tamil audiences will never feel that this is a film made in another language. Language is not a barrier.

Wherever there is a father-daughter relationship, this film will connect with the audience and succeed.

Director Siva Nirvana

I have always had an emotional connection with Tamil cinema. I particularly love the films of Bharathiraja sir and Bhagyaraj sir.

My intention is to make films that leave the audience with something meaningful when they walk out of the theatre. Tamil cinema has given me so much, and I want to create films in that spirit.

Irumudi Kattu is a film that families can watch and enjoy together. After watching the film, I am certain that its emotional impact will make you think about your daughter and your wife.

The film has become a superhit in Telugu, with families coming to theatres together. I would love to see Tamil audiences also come to theatres as families and support the film.

I thank the producers for their support. Priya’s character will definitely leave a strong impact on the audience.

Ravi Teja sir can be seen in a completely different avatar in this film. I am confident that Tamil audiences will definitely enjoy it.

Music Composer G.V. Prakash Kumar

The story is extremely important when composing music for a film. When I heard the stories of Polladhavan and Raja Rani, I immediately felt that they had the potential to become blockbusters.

I had the same feeling when I heard the story of Irumudi Kattu. I was convinced that the film would succeed.

There are many Ravi Teja sir fans here. Just as Rajinikanth had a unique style in commercial films, Ravi Teja sir too has a distinct identity in commercial cinema.

Many directors are also fans of Ravi Teja sir. From now on, I believe Siva’s films will have their own dedicated fan base.

The film has become a huge hit in Telugu. I expect child artist Nakshatra to receive several awards for her performance.

This is definitely a film that audiences can watch with their families in theatres. The entire technical team has also done an excellent job.

Actor Ravi Teja

I would like to thank everyone in the technical team who worked on this film.
G.V. Prakash Kumar’s music is the soul of the movie. The film has become a huge hit in Telugu.

Nakshatra has a bright future ahead of her, and Priya Bhavani Shankar has also delivered a wonderful performance.

I thank the producers for their support. I like director Siva very much. I will tell you why at the film’s success celebration.

Watch the film and share your thoughts.
