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.

The action set pieces unfold entirely within a temple setting, with subtle hints pointing to a connection with Lord Shiva and his eventual entry into the narrative. 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.
