Raja Guru: From a Small Village to the Silver Screen — The Inspiring Journey of the ‘AARADHYA' Star
Dreaming of making it big in the world of film and television is one thing; turning that dream into reality is another. But as they say, when your determination is strong, the entire universe conspires to help you achieve your goal. This couldn't be truer in the case of Raja Guru, whose journey from a small village in Sagar district, Madhya Pradesh, to the glitzy world of Bollywood is nothing short of inspiring. The name Raja Guru reflects both power and purpose, and so does his work. Set to make his big-screen debut as the lead in the upcoming family drama 'AARADHYA', releasing in theatres on July 18, 2025, Raja's path has been filled with challenges. Yet he refuses to call it a struggle. 'When you have dreams in your eyes and a burning desire to fulfill them, the struggle doesn't seem like a burden — it just feels like hard work with your eyes fixed on the goal,' he says. 'We didn't worry about the path, we just kept walking — people joined us along the way, and a caravan was formed.' Staying Positive Amid Pressure Many aspiring actors lose themselves to stress and uncertainty during their struggle, but Raja Guru stayed calm and grounded. 'Staying positive is an art,' he shares. 'I never let myself sink into depression. I believe one must practice being happy and positive in every situation — it makes all the difference.' His journey began with the TV serial "Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se", and each step since has been a learning experience. 'Every project taught me something new. I've always remained eager to learn,' Raja adds. AARADHYA: A Film Rooted in Culture and Emotion Produced under the banner of Ardhnareshwar Creations, AARADHYA is the story of a young man who rises against society to protect his sister's dignity. More than just a family drama, the film also carries deep emotional and spiritual undertones. Its narrative is deeply connected to the roots of Indian culture and tradition — a reflection of timeless values in a contemporary setting. Alongside Raja Guru, the film features performances by Gyan Prakash, Pankaj Berry, Deepak Dutt Sharma, and Rupali Jadhav in key roles. The movie is directed and written by Sujeet Goswami, produced by Professor Amarnath Sharma 'Daddy', and co-produced by Tushar Sharma. The soundtrack is another highlight, with vocals by noted singers Shahid Mallya, Rahul Saxena, Farhad Bhiwandiwala, and Krutika Shriwastawa, adding musical depth to the film's emotional resonance. As the countdown to AARADHYA's release begins, Raja Guru's story serves as a beacon of hope — a reminder that dreams, no matter where they come from, can lead to powerful realities.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu is the Divine Fusion of Shiva and Vishnu: Jyothi Krisna on His Grand Saga of Sanatana Dharma
Dispelling long-standing rumours that Hari Hara Veera Mallu is based on a well-known folk legend, the makers have now unveiled a powerful truth — the film is not a retelling of an old tale, but a rich fictional saga deeply rooted in Sanatana Dharma, crafted for a new era of mythic storytelling. Director Jyothi Krisna, who took charge of the project midway, has reimagined the narrative entirely, injecting it with spiritual symbolism and cinematic might. 'Hari Hara Veera Mallu is not just a historical warrior — he is a divine manifestation, a fictional character inspired by the combined energies of Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu,' shares Jyothi Krisna. 'We didn't just want to tell a story; we wanted to create a legacy. Veera Mallu is that bridge between Shaivism and Vaishnavism, like Ayyappa Swamy.' The title itself reveals the spiritual essence — Hari symbolizing Vishnu and Hara symbolizing Shiva. This duality is seamlessly translated on-screen through potent imagery: the eagle, symbolizing Garuda (Vishnu's vahana), soars as a silent sentinel, while the protagonist's Damarukam (Lord Shiva's drum) beats the rhythm of righteousness. Sources close to the film suggest the protagonist is a force born from both deities, destined to rise when Dharma is threatened. Veteran producer AM Rathnam, known for his grand cinematic vision, has backed the film with uncompromising scale and ambition. Without pre-selling the rights (barring overseas and Hindi), Rathnam made a calculated decision to let the visuals speak first — and it worked. The trailer release became an instant blockbuster online, drawing unprecedented attention and buzz. Distributors are now in a race, offering record-breaking sums to acquire rights. Rathnam's belief in the film's visual and spiritual power has paid off — and how. Hari Hara Veera Mallu is not just a film — it's a visual hymn to the eternal spirit of Dharma, a divine epic where mythology meets magnificence. Witness the rise of the divine protector. Hari Hara Veera Mallu — where cinema meets Sanatana. (Disclaimer: The above press release comes to you under an arrangement with NRDPL and PTI takes no editorial responsibility for the same.).
