Vijay Deverakonda and Keerthy Suresh Reunite for SVC59: Rural Action Drama Begins in Hyderabad
Hyderabad, October 11, 2025.
The mood at Sri Venkateswara Creations’ office in Hyderabad was bright and celebratory as Telugu cinema witnessed the grand launch of its next big project titled SVC59. The event began with a traditional pooja ceremony, attended by the film’s cast and crew along with several industry guests.
The film stars Vijay Deverakonda and Keerthy Suresh, two of the most admired names in South Indian cinema. It also marks their reunion after seven years since their last appearance together in Mahanati back in 2018. The new project promises to be an emotionally charged rural action drama directed by Ravi Kiran Kola and produced by Dil Raju under the prestigious banner Sri Venkateswara Creations.
A fresh collaboration with deep roots
People who attended the ceremony say that the energy on the sets was electric. Vijay, dressed in a simple white kurta, greeted everyone with folded hands, while Keerthy’s traditional yellow saree added grace to the moment. Dil Raju and director Ravi Kiran Kola performed the rituals before officially giving the clap for the project.
According to early reports, the story of SVC59 is set against a rural Telangana backdrop and combines themes of love, loyalty, and revenge. While the makers have kept the plot under wraps, insiders hint that the film will explore raw human emotions through powerful performances and authentic village settings.
Director Ravi Kiran Kola, known for his distinct storytelling style in Raja Vaaru Rani Gaaru, shared his excitement with reporters. He said, “This story comes straight from the soil. It talks about the lives and dreams of people who are often forgotten by the city. Vijay and Keerthy bring both strength and sensitivity to this world.”
Vijay Deverakonda’s new phase
Vijay Deverakonda seems to be in a phase where he is carefully choosing his scripts. After experimenting with mass entertainers and urban dramas, he is now turning toward content-driven stories rooted in emotion. His recent films have shown his willingness to explore different shades of masculinity and vulnerability.
A source close to the team revealed that Vijay has been involved in script discussions for months and is particularly drawn to SVC59’s moral conflict. “It is not just a regular action film. The emotions are intense and the world feels very real. Vijay was excited from day one because it challenges him as an actor,” the source added.
Keerthy Suresh’s versatility on display again
Keerthy Suresh, who continues to balance mainstream and performance-oriented roles, is said to have a strong emotional arc in this film. Her character reportedly represents the moral compass of the story and plays a central role in shaping the lead’s journey.
At the event, Keerthy thanked the makers and fans for their constant support. She said with a smile, “I am happy to reunite with Vijay after Mahanati. That film gave me so much love, and now I am looking forward to creating another memorable experience for the audience. This script moved me deeply the first time I heard it.”
Industry watchers believe that this pairing could recreate the magic of Mahanati, though in a completely different setting.
The Dil Raju touch
Producer Dil Raju is known for bringing a perfect mix of emotion and commercial appeal to his projects. From Bommarillu to Fidaa and Shatamanam Bhavati, his production house has consistently backed stories that strike a chord with family audiences.
Speaking about SVC59, Dil Raju said that this project represents everything he loves about Telugu cinema. “We are telling a story that celebrates rural life, values, and relationships. It has action, it has love, and most importantly, it has heart. Ravi has written something special and Vijay is going to surprise everyone,” he said.
The film’s pre-production work has been completed and the team will soon begin shooting across rural Telangana locations. The makers have planned to start filming before Diwali, with a grand release target set for 2026.
Fans react with excitement
As soon as the production house released pictures from the pooja ceremony, social media platforms exploded with excitement. Hashtags like #SVC59, #VijayDeverakonda, and #KeerthySuresh began trending on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram within hours.
Fans of both stars flooded the comment sections with posts like “Finally, Vijay and Keerthy together again” and “This pair never fails to deliver magic.” Some even shared edited fan posters imagining what the film’s first look could be.
Film analyst Ramesh Bala wrote on X, “Vijay Deverakonda’s choice of projects has become interesting again. Pairing with Keerthy Suresh under Dil Raju’s production is a strong sign that he’s aiming for both critical and box-office success.”
What makes SVC59 special
Beyond the star cast and production team, what truly makes SVC59 stand out is the creative team behind it. The cinematography will be handled by Sai Sriram, whose visuals are expected to capture the rustic beauty of Telangana villages. Music will be composed by Devi Sri Prasad, adding his signature energy to the film’s soundscape.
The story, as per initial buzz, will revolve around a young man who finds himself caught between tradition and change. Themes of family honor, revenge, and redemption are said to form the core, but the film also promises heartfelt romance and raw action.
The road ahead
With a strong cast, an experienced director, and the backing of a powerful production house, SVC59 already has the industry’s attention. Trade analysts are predicting that it could be one of the biggest Telugu releases of 2026 if everything goes as planned.
While the team has not announced an official title yet, insiders say it will be revealed once the first shooting schedule wraps up. The makers are aiming for a summer 2026 release, with post-production likely to begin early next year.
For Vijay Deverakonda, this film might mark a return to form after a few mixed performances. For Keerthy Suresh, it is yet another chance to prove why she remains one of the finest actresses in the industry. And for fans, it is the reunion they have waited for since Mahanati.
As the sun set over Hyderabad after the ceremony, one thing was clear SVC59 has begun its journey with the right mix of faith, emotion, and expectation. And if all goes well, this rural action drama could become the film that reminds audiences why Telugu cinema continues to lead with heart and soul.
