A hero known for high-energy entertainers, a director known for quirky, sharp storytelling, and a genre nobody can pin down. That is what makes RT78 one of the most talked-about Telugu projects right now, and the answer to its title is just a day away.
What’s the Buzz?
RT78 marks Ravi Teja’s first collaboration with Ante Sundaraniki director Vivek Athreya. The film’s pooja ceremony and official title announcement are scheduled for October 11, 2026. Ahead of that, reports suggest it may be called Thulabharam, though the makers haven’t confirmed anything.

Horror, Comedy or Crime?
Here’s where it gets interesting. Earlier reports said the film could be a horror-comedy. A newer report citing Aakashavaani calls it a crime comedy, following the director’s Saripodhaa Sanivaaram with Nani. The makers have only added to the mystery, teasing in an update that one person calls it a horror film, another says something else, and someone else says something entirely different. In other words, they’re enjoying the guessing game, so treat every genre claim as a rumour until the official announcement.
Where Ravi Teja Stands Right Now?
Ravi Teja was last seen in Irumudi, now streaming on Netflix. He plays Trinath, a flawed middle-class farmer who tries to be a loving father to his young daughter. At her request, he starts a 41-day spiritual journey that becomes a turning point, until mysterious incidents involving young girls in his village force him to confront his dark past. The cast includes Priya Bhavani Shankar and Baby Nakshathra, with Sai Kumar, Ajay Ghosh and others in key roles.
What’s Next?
Beyond RT78, Ravi Teja is set to team up with director Hasith Goli for an entertainer produced by Dil Raju and Sirish under Sri Venkateswara Creations. That makes for a busy lineup after Irumudi.
What to Watch For?
On October 11, expect the official title, a pooja ceremony and possibly the first hints of the film’s tone. If Thulabharam turns out to be right, the name suggests a weighing-scale theme, but that’s pure speculation until the makers confirm it
