‘Sarangapani Jathakam’ Teaser: Wholesome family entertainer with thrills

he Teaser of ‘Sarangapani Jathakam’ begins with Priyadarshi’s character wondering if everything is predetermined. Soon enough, Srinivas Avasarala’s flamboyant character ostensibly stuns him with a prediction. Later on in the Teaser, we get a sense that Sarangapani is almost pathological, either because paranoia has consumed him, or fear of the future has taken him over. Either way, he needs to be saved.

Not for nothing it is said that Mohanakrishna Indraganti is a thinking director. He is well-read and has a literary bent of mind. So, the ‘Jathakam’ in the film’s title must not be deemed as an advertisement for horoscope-reading. There must be surely more to his third film with Sridevi Movies, after ‘Sammohanam’ and ‘Gentleman’.

Priyadarshi is joined by an ensemble cast: the characters played by VK Naresh, Vennela Kishore, Viva Harsha and Tanikella Bharani cater to different sensibilities. If some serve the Jandhayal variety of madcap humour, others are there to give the EVV Satyanarayana doses. Roopa Kodavayur plays Sarangapani’s affluent love interest.

Vivek Sagar’s background score evokes a sense of suspense. PG Vinda and Raveender have handled the cinematography and production design departments, respectively.

Producer Sivalenka Krishna Prasad has plans to release the movie on December 20th. Vijay Deverakonda, the heartthrob of the Telugu film industry, launched the teaser.

he actor shared that he believes in desitny but not exactly in astrology.

Controversy blows up: Teja Sajja Finally Clarifies

The Telugu film industry is a tough nut to crack as there is a lot of ego game going on here and everyone is bothered about their own status. So, there is a need to move amicably with everyone as there is always the risk of triggering the bubble built by fans.

In this context, young hero Teja Sajja who shot to fame with HanuMan recently made headlines after commenting on Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun, and others at a recent awards event. He touched on sensitive topic of Sankranthi clash between Guntur Karam and HanuMan. He even named Pushpa 2 as Pushpa too late for the kind of delays it is witnessing.

These comments caught negative ire on social media and became a hot topic all over. Now, Teja had to apologize for the same as he commented on this matter recently at another event. “I have worked closely with these stars right from a young age and I have a very close relationship with them.

Why would I intentionally hurt them with my comments? It was a complete and clear case of misunderstanding. It wasn’t my intention to hurt anyone” Teja clarified. But is this enough to pacify fans who have been firing on him for commenting on the likes of Mahesh Babu?
