Sometimes, all it takes is one film to change an actor’s trajectory. Telugu cinema has seen it happen repeatedly — Vijay Deverakonda with Arjun Reddy, Siddu Jonnalagadda with DJ Tillu. Now, a similar conversation is beginning around Roshan Kanakala.
Roshan made his lead debut with Bubblegum, a film that brought him recognition. But Mowgli feels like a more defining moment. Released to encouraging word-of-mouth, the film is steadily finding its audience, with many believing it could be the breakthrough Roshan has been waiting for.
Directed by Sandeep Raj, Mowgli generated interest even before release due to its unusual forest backdrop and emotionally driven narrative. Speaking at a recent press meet in Hyderabad, Roshan described the film as a “very honest love story.” The plot revolves around a young man willing to cross boundaries for the woman he loves, with the central conflict arising from a character intriguingly named Christopher Nolan. That clash, Roshan said, propels the story forward.
The film blends forest visuals, action, emotion, and light humour in a natural flow. Roshan highlighted the pre-interval and interval sequences as particularly gripping, while noting that the climax leaves a lasting impact on audiences. Shooting in forest locations was challenging but transformative. He admitted that the rawness of that life affected him deeply, to the point where returning to the city felt unfamiliar. “For a while, it didn’t feel like my world anymore,” he said with a smile.
Cinema, Roshan added, has always been part of his upbringing, and he continues to seek guidance from his father whenever needed. With Mowgli gaining momentum, he has already moved on to his next phase. Roshan confirmed that he has signed two new projects — one an intense love story and the other a light-hearted romantic comedy. Official announcements are expected soon.
For Roshan Kanakala, Mowgli doesn’t feel like sudden noise or hype. It feels like a quiet shift — and often, that’s exactly how a new chapter truly begins.
