Ajay Bhupathi to Launch Jaya Krishna & Rasha Thadani in Tollywood

Ajay Bhupathi, the director who gained fame with the sensational hit RX 100, has officially announced his next cinematic venture—a yet-to-be-titled love story that will mark the Telugu film debuts of Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni and Rasha Thadani. The announcement has generated excitement among fans, as both actors hail from prominent film families, promising a star-studded launch.

Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni: From Legacy to Screen

Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni is the son of the late Ramesh Babu and the nephew of Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. With such a strong film lineage, expectations are naturally high for his entry into Tollywood. Ajay Bhupathi confirmed Jaya Krishna’s involvement, describing the film as a “raw, intense, and realistic love story” and expressing his excitement about introducing the young actor to audiences.

This film marks Jaya Krishna’s first official step into acting, and audiences are keen to see whether he will carry forward the cinematic legacy of his family.

Rasha Thadani: Bollywood to Tollywood Transition

Joining Jaya Krishna in the lead is Rasha Thadani, daughter of veteran actress Raveena Tandon. Rasha made her Bollywood debut earlier this year with the Hindi film Azaad, co-starring Ajay Devgn’s nephew, Aaman Devgan. Now, she is set to expand her acting horizons by entering the Telugu film industry.

Ajay Bhupathi has described Rasha as a “gorgeous and talented performer” whose screen presence will be one of the highlights of the film. Fans are particularly excited to witness the chemistry between the two debutantes, as both bring a mix of talent, style, and lineage to the project.

About the Film: Production and Vision

The film, which is described as a “raw, intense, and realistic love story,” will be presented by Ashwini Dutt of Vyjayanthi Films and Swapna Cinema, with production handled by Gemini Kiran under the banner Chandamama Kathalu Pictures. While the official title is yet to be revealed, it is being referred to as Ajay Bhupathi’s fourth directorial project.

Ajay Bhupathi has a reputation for crafting intense, emotionally charged films. His directorial debut, RX 100 (2018), became a major hit and was later remade in Hindi as Tadap. The film was inspired by a real-life love story of a friend, demonstrating Ajay’s ability to translate raw emotions onto the big screen. He followed it with Maha Samudram (2021), starring Sharwanand, Siddharth, and Aditi Rao Hydari, and later directed Mangalavaaram (2023), which explored complex themes, making him known for taking bold storytelling choices.

Industry Expectations

With Ajay Bhupathi at the helm and two star kids in the lead, the film is already generating buzz. Both Jaya Krishna and Rasha come from high-profile backgrounds, and their first on-screen pairing is expected to draw attention from audiences and the media alike. Industry insiders speculate that the film could be positioned as a “raw love story set against the scenic backdrop of the hills,” offering both romance and intense drama.

As Tollywood prepares for these new entrants, fans are eagerly waiting for the official title and teaser release. Ajay Bhupathi’s track record for delivering intense, story-driven films suggests that this debut will be carefully crafted to showcase the talents of both Jaya Krishna and Rasha Thadani.

This collaboration of veteran filmmakers with fresh talent promises production values, strong storytelling, and one of the most anticipated Telugu film debuts of the year.
