“I Won't Take This Opportunity for Granted": Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni

Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni, the third-generation heir of the famous Ghattamaneni family, is ready to begin his journey in the Telugu film industry. Carrying forward the legacy of legendary actor Krishna and superstar Mahesh Babu, Jaya Krishna, son of late Ramesh Babu, will make his debut as a lead actor with the movie Srinivasa Mangapuram.

The film is directed by Ajay Bhupathi, who is known for successful films like RX 100 and Mangalavaaram. The movie is being presented by veteran producer Ashwini Dutt and produced by Gemini Kiran under the Chandamama Kathalu banner. Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon’s daughter Rasha Thadani is playing the female lead, while Mohan Babu has an important role in the film.

On the occasion of Krishna’s birth anniversary, the makers organized a grand event to introduce the lead characters of the film. Speaking at the event, Jaya Krishna shared his excitement and emotions about entering the film industry. He said, "I am here to prove myself, not just to take this opportunity for granted."

Talking about his family legacy, Jaya Krishna said, "Meeting all of you on my grandfather’s birthday is a very special moment for me. My grandfather is equal to God for me. I cannot express my love and admiration for him in words. I believe his blessings will always be with me."

Speaking about his debut film, he added, "When Ajay Bhupathi narrated this story, I was deeply impressed by the emotions and the depth of my character. I felt this role would challenge me and give me an opportunity to prove myself as an actor. I am very happy to work with Ajay Bhupathi. Having a director like him for my first film is a blessing."

Jaya Krishna also expressed gratitude to producer Ashwini Dutt. He said that Ashwini Dutt had previously worked with Krishna in Agni Parvatham and with Mahesh Babu in Rajakumarudu, and now he is introducing him as a hero.

He further said, "The inspiration behind my dream of becoming a hero is my beloved grandfather. Without him, I would not be standing here today."

Talking about Mahesh Babu, Jaya Krishna said, "Jai Babu... I am a die-hard fan of my Babai Mahesh Babu. He always gives me feedback. He gave me a lot of feedback for this film as well. Thank You So Much, Babai."

He also recalled how Mahesh Babu launched the first look and teaser of the film and constantly encouraged him throughout the journey. Jaya Krishna ended his speech by remembering his father, late Ramesh Babu, on this memorable occasion.
