After scoring a blockbuster with 'Krack' this January, Ravi Teja is making one move after another with care. The news is that he will be teaming up with writer-director Sarath Mandava for an action thriller.

It's learned that the film is currently in the scripting stage. Once the final script is locked, the Mass Maharaja will move on to shoot for it. The film will be produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri.

Sarath Mandava will be directing a Telugu movie for the first time. His debut movie was in Tamil, titled 'Ko 2'. It was a political thriller. The sophomore director was previously a cinematographer as well. It seems the 'Krack' actor has been bowled over both by his writing skills as well as technical calibre.

Meanwhile, the teaser for 'Khiladi', starring Ravi Teja in an intriguing role, will be out on April 12. Helmed by Ramesh Varma Penmetsa, the film stars Meenakshi Chaudhary and Dimple Hayathi as the heroines.
