Jagapathi Babu, Roja's comedy duo takes over

Some screen pairs age like fine wine—and Jagapathi Babu and Roja are proving just that. Once a beloved on-screen couple in the ‘90s, they’re now serving laughter and memories decades later. After setting the tone for middle-class family dramas in films like Subhalagnam and Family Circus, the duo has reunited—but this time, not for a movie, but for television. And fans are loving it.

In a nostalgic twist, Drama Juniors on Zee Telugu is bringing back this classic combo. With Roja and Anil Ravipudi already holding the fort as judges, this week’s episode added star power with Jagapathi Babu and Aamani joining as special guests. What made it more special? A recreation of scenes from their iconic film Subhalagnam that brought old-school vibes to the small screen.

The teaser promo is already making waves online. It captures Roja teasing Jagapathi Babu, asking if he’s still the same as he was back in Subhalagnam. Jagapathi, never missing a beat, fires back by showing her clip from her Jatka Bandi days and saying, “What do you mean my life today? Jatka Bandi should be a joke!” Their comic timing is sharp, playful, and effortlessly entertaining—just like it was thirty years ago.

What started as a regular promo has now turned into a full-blown nostalgia fest for fans. From witty comebacks to heartwarming throwbacks, this episode promises to be more than just another reality show moment—it’s a celebration of vintage Tollywood charm. And with the promo already going viral, it looks like Jagapathi and Roja’s magic hasn’t faded one bit.
