Priya Bhavani Shankar unveiled as Kaveri in Ravi Teja’s Irumudi

The makers of Irumudi have unveiled a teaser poster introducing Priya Bhavani Shankar as Kaveri , ahead of her full first-look reveal scheduled for Friday at 10:10 a.m. IST. The announcement was made by production house Mythri Movie Makers , drawing strong attention from fans and trade circles.

Irumudi marks the *77th film of Ravi Teja and his first collaboration with director Shiva Nirvana* . The film was launched on Ravi Teja’s birthday, with the actor appearing in a striking avatar of a devoted follower of Lord Ayyappa.

The title Irumudi holds deep religious significance, referring to the sacred twin-bag offering carried by Ayyappa devotees during the pilgrimage to Sabarimala. Reflecting this spiritual symbolism, the film is said to revolve around themes of faith, penance, personal loss, and redemption , presenting Ravi Teja in a more restrained and emotionally intense role, a departure from his usual mass-action image.

Industry observers view Irumudi as a key film in Ravi Teja’s career, especially after recent box-office disappointments such as Tiger Nageswara Rao , Ravanasura , and Eagle . Fans are hopeful that the devotional and emotional narrative will mark a strong comeback for the actor, popularly known as the “Mass Maharaja.”

The film’s music is composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar , who has described the project as a “game-changer,” hinting at a powerful and spiritually driven soundtrack. Shooting for the film is currently underway.

Priya Bhavani Shankar, who has made a mark in Tamil cinema, continues to expand her footprint in Telugu films. She made her Telugu debut opposite Santosh Shobhan , gaining notice for her performance and screen presence. Her role as Kaveri in Irumudi is expected to carry emotional weight central to the film’s narrative.

Ravi Teja’s upcoming slate also includes Mr Bachchan and other projects yet to be officially announced. With its devotional backdrop, emotionally charged storytelling, and a fresh actor-director combination, Irumudi is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Telugu films in the coming months.
