Jatadhara. As the actress marks her debut in the Telugu movies, as she steps into an unexplored terrain and grabs her first-ever villain role which is yet a meatier and massier one while bringing life to Dhan Pisachnini which is a terrifying symbolof darkness, forbidden power and destruction.

Sonakshi’s daring move to adopt a pure villain role stood as a bold career defining move in an industry where actors are often praised and celebrated for their heroic roles. The actress known for her versatile roles in the industry will now reimagine herself in a mythological yet contemporary story with the one that weaves spiritual symbolism and the divine feminine into a gripping cinematic world.

To further enhance its appeal, Jatadhara goes into the forbidden world of black magic, looking at how supernatural rituals, old curses, and rituals blend faith and fear. In order to give the story an unusual depth that few Indian films have attempted to try, the movie shows Dhan Pisachini not just as a villain but as an evil force drawn from the darkest elements of tantra and sorcery.

The release of the movie’s new haunting track ‘Dhana Pisaachi’ in Hindi and Telugu during the festival of Navaratri has only sparked excitement among its fans while revealing a glimpse of the actress’s excellent transformation as a villain among the visuals steeped in ancient rituals with mythological ideas along with Lord Shiva reference.

The actress will be seen along with Sudheer Babu in the lead roles, who will anchor the story with emotional depth while ensuring that the battle feels personal and profound between the light and the dark.

Sonakshi is not just entering the Telugu cinema with her debut with Jatadhara, she is redefining screen villainy while also proving that the power of a character can be just as majestic, more than the divine hero.

Jatadhara is all set for a theatrical release in cinemas on November 7,2025 both in Hindi and Telugu.
