Hyderabad, April 11 – The makers of actor-director Ravi Babu's upcoming grim action drama, 'Razor', have announced that the film will be released worldwide on May 8 this year.
The makers have stated that they chose May 8 as the release date because it coincides with the birth anniversary of Ravi Babu's father, Chalapathi Rao.
The film, presented by Suresh Babu under Suresh Productions, has been produced by Flying Frogs.
It may be recalled that the makers had recently announced the completion of the film's shooting. To announce the completion of filming, they had unveiled a poster along with a special glimpse video.
In the video released, Ravi Babu appears in a brutal and violent role, killing a villain with a car engine valve cover, establishing the film's raw and savage tone. The teaser features some very violent scenes, including decapitation. The film has a tagline that reads "Justice will be brutal."
'Razor' features Ravi Babu in the lead role, and he is also directing the film.
The storyline promises to be a first-of-its-kind attempt in Telugu cinema. Ravi Babu, who has always carved his own path in Telugu cinema, constantly reinventing himself as a filmmaker, technician, and actor, is known for his unconventional ideas and fearless experimentation.
His upcoming film, 'Razor', marks a sharp shift from the light-hearted tone of his previous film, 'Enuguthondam Ghatikachalam'. 'Razor' appears to be set in a world of tension, violence, and psychological intensity.
From a technical perspective, the film has cinematography by Madhavaneni and music by SS Rajesh. The action sequences for the film have been choreographed by Satish Poloju.
It may be recalled that the makers had earlier unveiled a title glimpse, which drew a tremendous response, especially from thriller lovers.
Sources close to the film unit say that post-production work is progressing at a brisk pace.
