Telugu actor Rajendra Prasad says he’ll quit industry if Ravi Teja’s film Mass Jathara fails to ‘shock’ the audience

Ravi Teja is gearing up for his next big-screen outing, Mass Jathara, which is already creating waves ahead of its release. The action-packed entertainer, directed by Bhanu Bhogavarapu, will hit theatres with paid premieres on October 31. Produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, the film features Sreeleela as the female lead and promises to deliver Ravi Teja’s signature blend of energy, humor, and heroism.

The buzz around Mass Jathara intensified after veteran Telugu actor Rajendra Prasad made a dramatic declaration at a recent promotional event in Hyderabad.

Speaking about his confidence in the film, the veteran actor said, “I will leave the industry if Mass Jathara doesn’t shock audiences.” His statement drew loud cheers from fans and added a layer of intrigue to the movie’s pre-release hype. The remark quickly went viral across social media, with fans praising his faith in the project and speculating about the surprises the film might hold.

This isn’t the first time such bold claims have been made in Telugu cinema. Earlier this year, actor Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas made headlines while promoting his horror film Kishkindhapuri, saying he would quit the industry if audiences got bored enough to check their phones during the movie. He declared, “If anyone looks at their phone ten minutes into Kishkindhapuri, I will leave films. We’ve worked hard to make it gripping.” His film later turned out to be a decent box-office success — a fact fans are now citing to draw parallels with Mass Jathara.

Ravi Teja, known for his mass appeal and energetic screen presence, has been vocal about his excitement for the film. Sharing a message on social media, he wrote, “Welcoming you all to the world of #MassJathara. See you in theatres from October 31 with premieres.” The movie has cleared the Central Board of Film Certification with a U/A certificate and features music composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, who previously delivered hits for several Ravi Teja blockbusters.

With Rajendra Prasad’s strong endorsement, an engaging trailer, and high expectations from Ravi Teja’s fans, Mass Jathara is shaping up to be one of Tollywood’s most talked-about releases of the season. Whether it truly “shocks” audiences as promised remains to be seen, but the stakes — and curiosity — have never been
