Roshan Meka has landed a major opportunity with Jatayu, Mohana Krishna Indraganti’s ambitious pan-India superhero film. Interestingly, the project was initially planned with Nani before moving into discussions with Vijay Deverakonda. Neither combination materialised, and the film has now found its leading man in Roshan. Jatayu, Production No. 3 of Ashoka Creations, was launched today with a grand ceremony, with shooting scheduled to begin in the first week of December. It is produced by Ashok Vardhan Muppa and Sunil Balusu and presented by Muppa Venkaiah Choudhary.
From Nani to Vijay Deverakonda to Roshan
Jatayu has been Indraganti’s dream project for several years. Known for films such as Ashta Chamma, Gentleman and Sammohanam, the director has spent nearly one and a half years on pre-production, developing the script and refining every detail. The film promises an engaging story, cutting-edge technology and grand visuals, presenting Roshan in a powerful new avatar. At the launch, Muppa Venkaiah Choudhary switched on the camera and handed over the script, while Roshan’s father, actor Srikanth, sounded the clapboard.
A Strong Cast and Technical Team
Bollywood actress Rekha Pandey makes her Telugu debut, while Vinay Rai plays a crucial role. Gowra Hari, known for HanuMan and Mirai, composes the music. P. G. Vinda handles cinematography, Rama Krishna Sabbani and Monika Nigotre oversee production design, and international action choreographer Lee Whittaker designs the action alongside Rama Krishna. Marthand K. Venkatesh is the editor, Kota Suresh Kumar the co-director, and Shilpa Tanguturu handles costumes. Meanwhile, Roshan’s next release is Emo Emo Idi, a Gen Z romantic entertainer directed by Sailesh Kolanu and featuring Preity Mukundhan. Produced by Sithara Entertainments, it was postponed from October 30 due to Aadarsha Kutumbam, with a new release date yet to be announced. Taking on a project once discussed with Vijay Deverakonda gives Roshan an opportunity to make a significant leap in his career.
