Mahesh Babu Debuts Nephew Jaya Krishna in Rugged First Look of Srinivasa Mangapuram

Today, January 10, 2026, marks a significant milestone for the legendary Ghattamaneni family as Superstar Mahesh Babu officially unveiled the first-look poster of Srinivasa Mangapuram. This film marks the highly anticipated debut of his nephew, Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni, who is the son of the late producer-actor Ramesh Babu and the grandson of the iconic Superstar Krishna.

A Legacy Continued: The Ghattamaneni Scion

The Ghattamaneni family has been a pillar of Tollywood for decades. Following in the footsteps of his grandfather and uncle, Jaya Krishna is stepping into the spotlight with a project that promises to be far more than a typical debut. Mahesh Babu took to social media to share his excitement, wishing Jaya Krishna and the entire team the very best. He noted the “strong team” behind the project, signaling high confidence in this new-age love story.

The First Look: Action Meets Emotion

The first-look poster of Srinivasa Mangapuram is an adrenaline-fueled visual that perfectly captures the film’s “rugged and realistic” tone. In the poster, Jaya Krishna appears as a fierce, determined protagonist with messy curls and a rugged look, riding a vintage motorcycle while aiming a handgun during an intense action sequence.

The backdrop of the poster is equally symbolic, featuring the Tirumala Temple and the Seshachalam Hills. This contrast—sacred landmarks against high-stakes action—hints at a narrative that blends traditional values with raw, modern-day intensity.

Powerhouse Cast and Crew

The film is helmed byAjay Bhupathi, visionary director known for cult hits like RX 100 and Mangalavaaram. Bhupathi has described the film as a “timeless love story” and a “tornado of emotions.”

• Lead Actress: The movie also serves as the Telugu debut for Rasha Thadani, daughter of Bollywood star Raveena Tandon.
• Music: The soundtrack is being composed by the prolific GV Prakash Kumar, ensuring a high-impact musical experience.
• Production: The project is presented by legendary produce Vyjayanthi Movies and produced by P. Kiran under the Chandamama Kathalu banner.

Interestingly, Ashwini Dutt’s involvement brings the legacy full circle; he previously produced Agni Parvatham with Superstar Krishna and introduced Mahesh Babu himself to the screen with Rajakumarudu.

What to Expect in 2026

Jaya Krishna has reportedly undergone rigorous training in acting, dance, and action choreography to prepare for this role. With filming already progressing in scenic locations like Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka, the makers are aiming for a 2026 release.

The buzz surrounding Srinivasa Mangapuram is immense, not just because of the family name, but because of the creative team involved. If Ajay Bhupathi’s track record is any indication, audiences can expect a film that is visually stunning and emotionally gripping.
