The evergreen classic ‘Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari’, featuring Megastar Chiranjeevi and Sridevi, celebrates 35 years of release. To commemorate this milestone, the picture was re-released on May 9. As part of the marketing, Chiranjeevi, director K. Raghavendra Rao, and producer Ashwini Dutt discussed their unforgettable filmmaking experiences.
In a special video clip, Ram Charan expressed his enthusiasm for the film, calling it the epitome of a socio-fantasy for his generation. He recounted how the song “Jai Chiranjeeva” had inspired his love to Lord Hanuman. He described the film as the work of a “dream team,” praising legends such as Chiranjeevi, Sridevi, Ilaiyaraaja, Raghavendra Rao, Ashwini Dutt, Yandamoori, the Paruchuri Brothers, and cinematographer Vincent.
Ram Charan urged director Nag Ashwin to take up the sequel, asking him to address the unanswered questions from the original — like the fate of the magical ring and the talking fish. Interestingly, Chiranjeevi echoed similar thoughts, suggesting Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor as leads, with Ashwini Dutt’s children producing it under the guidance of Raghavendra Rao. Whether Nag Ashwin considers this project remains to be seen.
