Mahesh Babu's nephew Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni set for debut in 'Srinivasa Mangapuram'
Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni, Mahesh Babu's nephew and grandson of Superstar Krishna, is making his big-screen debut with Srinivasa Mangapuram.
Directed by Ajay Bhupathi (of RX 100 fame), the film also introduces Rasha Thadani—Raveena Tandon's daughter—to Telugu cinema.
Shooting kicked off in November 2025 in Madhya Pradesh and will move to Hyderabad, Tirupati, and Bellary.
Why it matters
This isn't just another launch—Ghattamaneni trained hard in acting, action, and dance to prep for this role.
The film promises a raw Rayalaseema vibe mixed with emotional storytelling, plus music by GV Prakash Kumar (with some tracks shot overseas).
With industry heavyweights like Ashwini Dutt backing the project and a blend of Tollywood-Bollywood talent, Srinivasa Mangapuram is shaping up as an intense love story to watch out for.
