'Srinivasa Mangapuram': A New Cult Love Story Begins
The Telugu film industry is set to welcome two powerful new entrants with the official announcement of director Ajay Bhupathi's upcoming film, titled 'Srinivasa Mangapuram'. The project, which generated significant buzz as 'AB4', marks the highly anticipated acting debut of Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu's nephew, Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni. Sharing the screen with him is Raveena Tandon's daughter, Rasha Thadani, who is also making her grand entry into Tollywood. The makers unveiled the title and a suggestive poster on Thursday, setting high expectations for this unique love story.
The Official Announcement and Poster Details
The production team took to the social media platform X to make the grand revelation. Their post was poetic and promising, stating: "Two lives. One journey. Two hands. One promise. Two hearts. One destiny. #AB4 is #SrinivasaMangapuram. Get ready to witness a cult that will be a timeless chapter in the world of love stories. Shoot in progress. First Look & more updates soon. An @DirAjayBhupathi Film."
Accompanying this announcement was a visually striking poster that has captivated audiences. The poster features a rich, portrait-like painting with a dark red and black themed background. The central image is intensely symbolic, showing two hands—one of a man and one of a woman—holding a single revolver together, pointed towards the sky. This powerful imagery immediately suggests a story of unity, shared destiny, and perhaps, a shared struggle.
Star-Studded Debuts and Filmmaking Pedigree
All eyes are on the fresh faces leading this project. Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni is not just any newcomer; he carries a legendary cinematic legacy. He is the grandson of the iconic Superstar Krishna and the son of the late actor-producer Ramesh Babu. According to an IANS report, he has left no stone unturned in his preparation, undergoing extensive training in acting, action choreography, and dance to ensure a powerful screen presence.
His co-star, Rasha Thadani, is the daughter of Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon. The makers had previously welcomed her to Telugu cinema with a confident first look, calling her a "National Sensation" and expressing their excitement for audiences to fall in love with her "mesmerising performance".
Helming this ambitious project is director Ajay Bhupathi, who has previously delivered impactful films like 'RX 100' and 'Mangalavaram'. His track record suggests a penchant for intense, gritty storytelling. Adding to the film's raw appeal, reports indicate that it is being shot in rugged, natural terrain, aiming to bring an earthy realism to the screen. The director himself shared the poster, affirming that this love story is "destined to stay in your hearts for ages." With the shoot currently in progress, fans can expect the first look and more updates to be unveiled soon.
