Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja has reportedly agreed to a profit-sharing model for his upcoming film with producer Dil Raju. Directed by Hasith Goli, the project comes after the actor faced several box-office hurdles.

Following a string of box-office disappointments, "Mass Maharaj" Ravi Teja is reportedly recalibrating his professional strategy.

Ravi Teja Switches To Profit-Sharing Deal
For years, Dil Raju had approached Ravi Teja with multiple scripts, but the projects remained stalled due to the actor's high remuneration demands. However, industry insiders suggest that Ravi Teja’s recent "back-to-back duds" have prompted a change in heart. To mitigate financial risks for the producer, Ravi Teja has reportedly "stepped down" from his traditional upfront fee. Instead, he has agreed to work on a profit-sharing model, a deal Dil Raju had been proposing for some time. This strategic shift is viewed as a necessary move for the veteran actor to navigate his current "market downfall" while continuing to headline high-budget entertainers.
Ravi Teja and Hasith Goli Film Announced
The upcoming project, described as a "full-length entertainer," will be helmed by director Hasith Goli. Goli has built a reputation for quirky, character-driven storytelling with films like Raja Raja Chora and the recently released Swag, both starring Sree Vishnu. The pairing of Goli’s unique narrative style with Ravi Teja’s high-energy screen presence is expected to offer a fresh perspective for the actor’s fans.
