Sonakshi Sinha is set to surprise audiences like never before. Her upcoming role is in the bilingual film Jatadhara. It is the much-anticipated mythological spectacle from Zee Studios and Prerna Arora. Marking her debut in Telugu cinema, Sonakshi steps into uncharted territory. She takes on her first-ever villain role, which is both meatier and massier. She brings to life the chilling figure of Dhana Pisachini, a terrifying symbol of darkness, destruction, and forbidden power.
In an industry where actors are often celebrated for their heroic portrayals, Sonakshi makes a bold move. Her daring shift to embody pure evil stands out as career-defining. She is known for her versatility in Bollywood. Now she reimagines herself in a mythological yet contemporary narrative. This narrative weaves mysticism, spiritual symbolism, and the divine feminine into a gripping cinematic tapestry.
Jatadhara becomes even more intriguing by delving into the forbidden world of black magic. The film explores how rituals, occult practices, and ancient curses blur the lines between faith and fear. The film positions Dhan Pisachini not merely as a villain. She emerges as a sinister force born from the darkest strands of tantra and sorcery. This gives the narrative an unsettling depth that few Indian films have dared to attempt.
The release of the haunting track ‘Dhana Pisaachi’ during Durga Puja in Hindi and Telugu language has heightened the intrigue. This adds to the mystery. It reveals glimpses of Sonakshi’s menacing transformation as a villain. This transformation occurs amidst visuals steeped in ancient rituals, Lord Shiva references, and mythological motifs.
Opposite her is Sudheer Babu. He anchors the story with emotional gravitas. This ensures that the battle between light and darkness feels both personal and profound.
With Jatadhara, Sonakshi Sinha is not just entering Telugu cinema. She is reinventing herself and redefining screen villainy. She proves that the power of an antagonist can be just as magnetic as the divine hero, if not more.
The film is all set for the theatrical release in the cinemas on November 7th, 2025 in Hindi and Telugu.
