Just
recently,
the
makers
of
Ravi
Teja's
next
Khiladi
announced
the
postponement
of
the
film's
release
considering
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19.
For
the
unversed,
the
action-thriller
was
earlier
slated
to
release
on
May
28,
2021
in
theatres.
Written
and
directed
by
Ramesh
Varma,
the
film
has
yet
again
made
headlines
for
a
surprising
reason
which
has
a
lot
to
do
with
its
release.
Wondering
what
we
are
talking
about?
Well,
according
to
latest
grapevine,
the
makers
are
currently
in
talks
with
Amazon
Prime
Video
for
releasing
the
film
directly
on
the
OTT
platform.
Reportedly,
the
popular
streaming
platform
has
offered
Rs
45
crore
to
the
makers
of
Khiladi,
however,
the
team
is
yet
to
sign
on
the
dotted
lines.
It
is
said
that
the
makers
do
not
want
to
prolong
the
release
as
it
will
lead
to
a
loss
and
therefore,
are
considering
to
accept
the
offer
put
forward
by
Amazon
Prime.
Backed
by
Satyanarayana
Koneru
and
Ramesh
Varma
under

The
technical
team
of
Khiladi
includes
cinematographers
Sujith
Vaassudev,

and
editor
Amar
Reddy
Kudumula.
With
music
composed
by
Devi
Sri
Prasad,
the
film
will
have
Mass
Maharaja
in
dual
roles.
On
a
related
note,
Ravi
Teja
was
previously
seen
in
Gopichand
Malineni's
Krack.
Alongside
Shruti
Haasan
and
Varalaxmi
Sarathkumar,
the
actor
played
the
role
of
an
unapologetic
police
officer.
Released

the
film
received
favourable
reviews
from
