Sankranthi 2026: First Item Song’s Female Lead Found

With Sankranthi 2026 shaping up as a crowded festive season at the Telugu Box Office, interesting updates around the competing films are already grabbing eyeballs. Among the Pongal releases announced so far, Naveen Polishetty’s Anaganana Oka Raju stands out for one specific reason, and here goes it.

Though films like Raja Saab, Mana Shankar Varaprasad Garu, and Bharta Mahaseyulaku Wignyapthi have a bunch of songs featuring the glamorous presence of heroines, so far, none have a special song featuring a special heroine. Among them, Ananganaga Oka Raju stands out for being the only film in the festive race to feature a full-fledged item song.

What has surprised many is the revelation about the female lead of this item number. Contrary to the earlier buzz that popular starlet Raashi Khanna would be part of the song, sources now say that the item number will actually feature Telugu girl Saanve Meghana. She’s known for her dance in the Instagram reels she shares, and her expressive eyes, so no doubt, she would be apt for the song.

After films like Pushpa 2 have stunned with their item number songs like Kisik, Tollywood hasn’t seen such a dazzling special song later. Will Naveen Shetty and his Ananganag Oka Raju team turn heads with this song is something to be seen.
