MS Raju, who is coming up with his directorial venture Agadha, has been unveiling striking character looks from the film one after another. The latest reveal introduces young actor Jovika Vijaykumar, granddaughter of yesteryear actors Manjula and Vijayakumar, and daughter of Tamil actor Vanitha Vijayakumar.
Jovika is making her acting debut with this mystical divine thriller, and her first-look poster has instantly caught attention for its intense visual appeal and mysterious tone.
Set against a dimly lit ancient backdrop, Jovika appears in a striking look. Her expressive eyes reflect a blend of innocence and hidden strength, hinting at a character deeply connected to the spiritual and mystical core of the story. The rain effect further enhances the intensity of the visual.
Interestingly, years ago, MS Raju introduced Jovika’s mother, Vanitha Vijayakumar, to cinema with Devi. Now, he introduces the next generation, marking a rare and emotional cinematic connection across generations. Jovika is the granddaughter of veteran actor Manjula, who was highly active in Telugu and Tamil films.
Earlier posters from the film established its mystical tone. The poster of Mahadevi showcased a divine feminine presence surrounded by spiritual energy, while another impactful poster introduced Shravan Reddy as Simha, standing in darkness with a blazing torch — symbolising his journey through fear, mystery, and the unknown.
Another poster featuring Ulka Gupta as Mahima has also drawn attention for its intense appeal.
Being mounted on a grand scale under the banner of Sri Adi Varaha Productions, the film is produced by Kasi Visalakshi Balusu and written and directed by MS Raju.
With 85 days of shooting, extensive set work, and nearly 45 minutes of VFX, Agadha promises a unique cinematic experience. The film is being made simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi, and is currently in post-production.
