"Jaya Krishna Is Here to Stay for 30 Years": Ajay Bhupathi

Director Ajay Bhupathi is confident that Srinivasa Mangapuram will impress audiences with its emotional story, rustic visuals, and strong performances. The film marks the acting debut of Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni, son of late actor Ramesh Babu and grandson of Superstar Krishna. It also introduces Rasha Thadani, daughter of Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon, to Telugu cinema. Produced by P. Kiran and presented by Ashwini Dutt, the film is set to release in theatres on July 30.

Speaking at the film's pre-release event, Ajay Bhupathi said the movie has been an emotional journey for him. He admitted that he never felt nervous during the shoot, but in the last few days, people kept asking him if he was under pressure because he was introducing the grandson of Superstar Krishna. That is when he started thinking about the responsibility.

However, the director made it clear that he has complete faith in Jaya Krishna. He said the young actor has already proved himself during filming and that both Jaya Krishna and Rasha had "passed" his test as a director long ago. According to Ajay, Jaya Krishna is not someone who will do just one or two films and disappear. He confidently predicted that the newcomer would enjoy a long career in the industry, just like Mahesh Babu.

Ajay also praised Rasha Thadani for her dedication and commitment. He said working with both newcomers was a wonderful experience. He described Jaya Krishna as a calm and classy person, while Rasha was energetic and talkative, adding that their real-life personalities perfectly matched their characters in the film.

The director revealed that the movie was shot in several beautiful locations, including Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh, Ballari, Tirupati, Bengaluru, and Munnar. He said filming in Chanderi was especially challenging because of the long travel distances, but the team believed those locations perfectly suited the story.

Ajay Bhupathi also praised veteran actors Mohan Babu, Naresh, and Brahmaji for their outstanding performances and support. He said Mohan Babu stood by the team throughout the shoot and treated everyone with great respect.

Calling Srinivasa Mangapuram a realistic love story with powerful emotions, beautiful music by G. V. Prakash Kumar, grand visuals, and impressive action scenes, Ajay requested audiences, media, and fans of Superstar Krishna to watch the film in theatres and encourage the new actors. He expressed confidence that viewers would connect with the story within the first few minutes and leave the theatre satisfied.
