Jatadhara teaser: Sonakshi Sinha and Sudheer Babu face off in a mythic setting

Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha will next be seen in the Telugu mythical drama Jatadhara, starring Sudheer Babu in the lead role. The teaser offers a glimpse into a world steeped in myth, where a battle between good and evil unfolds. Sudheer plays an ordinary man who rises to confront the demonic goddess Dhanapisachini, portrayed by Sonakshi. The dialogue-free teaser teases their fierce rivalry, framing the story as a self-contained spiritual journey set against a backdrop of a demonic uprising.

Jatadhara is co-directed by Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal, with Kalyan, formerly an editor on films like Raakshasha Kaavyam and the short Tilak, making his directorial debut. The teaser, unveiled a few hours ago by ‘Rebel Star’ Prabhas, showcases Sonakshi Sinha in a commanding and menacing avatar, seemingly as a demon driven by revenge. Her disheveled hair and brooding eyes add to the ominous presence.

While some visuals and VFX in the teaser appear rough around the edges, the final film may well deliver a more polished experience. It will be interesting to see how Sonakshi Sinha’s character is woven into the story, her menacing presence makes her the clear MVP of the teaser.
