Ravi Teja cannot be happier.

After all the years of struggle and stress, he has arrived at the portals of stardom.

With a sequence of hits like Bhadra and Vikramarkudu, the mass hero has underlined his staying power. And if he continues his good work, he is certainly destined for greater things.

Ravi Teja, however, understands that the stay at the top is even more difficult than the climb to it. So he is not relaxing. In fact, if anything, he has redoubled his efforts.

But at the same time, he is enjoying the smell of hard-earned success.

I feel very happy that the first dual role for me has worked, he says and quickly adds that it was the efforts of the director that made it work.

Such self-effacing ways are what make him tick.
