Cinephiles, it’s official. Sonakshi Sinha is ready to make her Telugu debut with the Venkat Kalyan-directed film Jatadhara. On the occasion of International Women’s Day, the makers unveiled Sonakshi’s intense first-look poster on Instagram. 

In the picture, Sonakshi Sinha exudes absolute goddess energy. She is clad in heavy golden jewellery. The actress covers her face in such a way that only her kajal-smeared eyes are visible. Sonakshi’s fiery gaze adds depth to her eyes. Her hair is left open in wild waves. 

The tagline on the poster read, “Welcome aboard Sonakshi Sinha.” The caption said, “This Women’s Day a beacon of strength and power rises in Jatadhara.”

Reacting to the photo, Sonakshi Sinha’s husband, actor Zaheer Iqbal dropped multiple fire emojis. Actress Huma Qureshi wrote, “Faaaab.”

Jatadhara, billed to be a supernatural fantasy thriller, also features Sudheer Babu. Reportedly, a grand muhurat ceremony was held in Hyderabad recently. The shoot is believed to kickstart today. Jatadhara is backed by Umesh KR Bansal, Prerna Arora, Aruna Agarwal, and Shivin Narang under the banner of Zee Studios.
