Animated Lava Kusa set for release
MUMBAI: Rayudu Vision Media‘s RVML Animation, along with The Kanipakam Creations, has made a 2D animation film Lava Kusa – The Warrior Twins. Now in its post-production stage, the film is expected to release shortly.
Made at a cost of Rs 250 million, the film took three years to complete. While RVML Animation is in charge of the animation, the film is produced by R V Sashank for Kanipakam Creations.
The film is being currently made in Hindi, English and Telugu. It will be dubbed into Tamil, Oriya, Bengali and other Indian languages later.
Directed by Dhavala Sathyam, Lava Kusa The Warrior Twins is based on Ramayana, where the warrior twins team up to bring a powerful dynasty to their knees. The story is all about the banishment of Sita to the acceptance of Lava and Kusa by Lord Rama.
Lava and Kusa, who opposed Rama for their mother‘s Sita‘s plight, are well- known for their courage and bravery.
Giving a shape to the thought, RVML and The Kanipakam creations announced the making of the film in 2006. After a year to prepare the script, 300 animators worked on this project in the RVML studios in Hyderabad and Philippines.

Dhurandhar the revenge storms past Rs 1,000 crore in a week, rewrites box office records
Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller sets fastest run to Rs 1,000 crore with record-breaking weekday hold
MUMBAI: The box office has a new juggernaut—and it is moving at breakneck speed. Dhurandhar the revenge has smashed past the Rs 1,000 crore mark worldwide in just a week, clocking a staggering Rs 1,088 crore and resetting the rules of the blockbuster game.
Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, and directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action sequel opened to the biggest weekend ever for an Indian film globally—and then refused to slow down. Unlike typical tentpole releases that taper off after Sunday, this one powered through the weekdays with rare muscle, posting Rs 64 crore on Monday, Rs 58 crore on Tuesday, Rs 49 crore on Wednesday and Rs 53 crore on Thursday.
The numbers stack up to a formidable first-week haul. India collections stand at Rs 690 crore nett and Rs 814 crore gross, while overseas markets have chipped in Rs 274 crore, taking the worldwide total to Rs 1,088 crore in just eight days.
The film’s opening weekend alone delivered Rs 466 crore, laying the foundation for what is now being billed as the fastest climb to the Rs 1,000 crore club in Indian cinema. Every single day of its first week has set fresh benchmarks, from the highest opening weekend to the strongest weekday hold—metrics that typically separate hits from phenomena.
A sequel to the earlier hit Dhurandhar, the film has not just built on its predecessor’s momentum but obliterated previous records, emerging as the biggest global blockbuster run by an Indian film to date.
At this pace, the film is not merely riding a wave—it is creating one.
