Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha is set to make her Telugu film debut with the upcoming supernatural fantasy thriller Jatadhara, directed by Venkat Kalyan.
The makers unveiled her intense first-look poster on International Women's Day, showcasing Sonakshi exuding an aura of strength and divinity, draped in heavy golden jewellery.
She partially covers her face, leaving only her kohl-lined eyes visible, with her fierce gaze. Her open, wild waves further enhance her commanding presence. The tagline on the poster reads, “Welcome aboard Sonakshi Sinha.”
Sharing the poster on Instagram, the filmmakers captioned it, “This Women's Day a beacon of strength and power rises in Jatadhara.” The announcement received enthusiastic responses, with Sonakshi’s husband, actor Zaheer Iqbal, dropping multiple fire emojis. Actress Huma Qureshi also reacted, commenting, “Faaaab.”
Jatadhara also stars Sudheer Babu and is backed by producers Umesh KR Bansal, Prerna Arora, Aruna Agarwal, and Shivin Narang under the banner of Zee Studios. A grand muhurat ceremony was recently held in Hyderabad, and the film’s shoot is expected to commence today.
Sonakshi Sinha's 2013 film Lootera returned to theatres on March 7. Marking the occasion, the actress shared behind-the-scenes pictures from the film’s sets on Instagram, with a heartfelt caption, “Some memories from set (red heart emoji).” The Vikramaditya Motwane-directed film starred her opposite Ranveer Singh.
Sonakshi Sinha, who made her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan in Dabangg (2010), was last seen in the Zee5 horror-comedy Kakuda and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar on Netflix.
Sonakshi tied the knot with longtime partner Zaheer Iqbal in June last year under the Special Marriage Act. The couple had been speculated to be dating since 2016 and worked together in the 2022 film Double XL as well as the music video Jodi Blockbuster the following year.
