BiggBossTelugu 7 Promo 2 – Day 78 | Rathika and Prashant Face to Face During Nominations

Renowned Kannada actor and Kantara star Rishab Shetty is reportedly set to portray the legendary Vijayanagara emperor Sri Krishnadevaraya in an upcoming historical drama. The ambitious project is said to be helmed by acclaimed Bollywood director Ashutosh Gowariker, best known for period epics like Lagaan and Jodhaa Akbar. This marks Gowariker’s return to direction after a significant hiatus, and early reports suggest he is crafting a script that aims to authentically depict the grandeur and legacy of one of South India’s most celebrated rulers.

Sri Krishnadevaraya holds an iconic place in Telugu and South Indian history, with previous portrayals by cinematic greats like Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR) in Mahamantri Timmarusu and Nandamuri Balakrishna in Aditya 369. These performances have left a lasting impression, and the new project is expected to rekindle audience interest in this majestic chapter of Indian heritage.

Rishab Shetty’s career has seen a meteoric rise following the success of Kantara, and anticipation is already high for his upcoming film Jai Hanuman. He is also set to play Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in another major pan-India project, further establishing him as a prominent face in historical cinema. His potential portrayal of Krishnadevaraya is expected to generate strong buzz, particularly across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka.

If confirmed, this collaboration between Shetty and Gowariker could mark one of the most anticipated historical films in recent times, bringing a revered cultural figure back to life on the big screen with renewed cinematic excellence.
