Early life and career


K. S. Ravindra was born and brought up in Guntur. After graduating with a B. Com degree, Ravindra started his film career in 2003 and joined writer Chinna Krishna.[1] He went on to work under several directors including Dasaradh and Gopichand Malineni.[2] Ravindra made his debut a director with Power (2014), starring Ravi Teja.[3]

His 2016 directorial, Sardaar Gabbar Singh, starring Pawan Kalyan was a commercial failure.[4] His next film, Jai Lava Kusa (2017) where Jr NTR essayed three roles, was successful at the box office, grossing over ₹100 crore.[5]

In 2019, Ravindra directed Venky Mama, starring Venkatesh and Naga Chaitanya. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film was a profitable venture.[6] Karthik Kumar of Hindustan Times wrote, "Ravindra tries to milk the real life family bond between Venkatesh and Chaitanya in Venky Mama, which relies heavily on the camaraderie between its lead actors."[7] Hemanth Kumar in his review for Firstpost opined, "In his attempt to blend humour and sentiment, KS Ravindra (Bobby) turns Venky Mama into a bland drama, where the narrative moves from one set piece to another without leaving a strong impression."[8]

As of February 2021, Ravindra is working on his upcoming film, starring Chiranjeevi under the production of Mythri Movie Makers.[9]


Personal life


Ravindra is married to Anusha, the elder sister of chess player Harika Dronavalli.[10] The couple has a daughter born in 2018.[11]
