Itlu Sravani Subramanyam – This 2001 released romantic drama was the project for which Ravi and Puri had collaborated for the first time. The first time collaboration turned out to be a commercial hit at the box office and even Ravi shot to fame as a solo lead actor.

Idiot – A year later, the actor and director duo joined hands once again for an action rom-com. From critics to fans, all praised Ravi’s performance (who essays the role of a guy with a carefree attitude) and dialogue delivery in this blockbuster film.

Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi – A sports drama released in 2003, starring Ravi and Asin in the lead, was one of the biggest hits of that year. Ravi plays the role of a kick-boxer in the film.

Neninthe – The film might not have turned out to be a blockbuster like the actor and director’s earlier three projects, but Ravi’s role of an assistant director, who is aspiring to become a filmmaker in the movie, was lauded by the audience.

Devudu Chesina Manushulu – This was the fifth time that Ravi and Puri had teamed up for a movie, and for the third time the former had collaborated with Ileana D’Cruz after Khatarnak and Kick. The film opened to mixed reviews, but it had decent openings at the box office.
