Jayakrishna Ghattamaneni, grandson of Superstar Krishna and nephew of Mahesh Babu, is making his film debut with Srinivasa Mangapuram. The film is directed by Ajay Bhupathi, who created a sensation with RX 100. It also marks the Tollywood debut of Raveena Tandon’s daughter, Rasha Thadani.

The makers unveiled the teaser today, and it promises a love story packed with action. Vasu (Jayakrishna) falls for an affluent girl, Manga (Rasha Thadani), and the two gradually develop feelings for each other. However, their romance takes a turbulent turn when the girl’s family locks horns with the protagonist.

Ajay Bhupathi appears to be coming up with another gritty romantic drama, and both lead actors appear confident on screen. Their chemistry and looks are neat, and the Tirupati backdrop adds intrigue to the narrative, which seems to be high on action.

Mohan Babu plays the antagonist and makes a good impression towards the end of the teaser. Industry stalwart Ashwini Dutt is presenting the film, while P Kiran is producing it. GV Prakash Kumar is composing the music.

Love Insurance Kompany (LIK) was released five days ago, but it has unfortunately turned out to be a weak opener for lead actor Pradeep Ranganathan. Krithi Shetty stars alongside him as the female lead in this futuristic romantic drama directed by Vignesh Shivan.

For those unfamiliar with the production, the movie was originally titled Love Insurance Company (LIC). However, the name was later changed to Love Insurance Kompany (LIK) after the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) objected to the title. The corporation issued a legal notice to the filmmakers to prevent them from using the protected abbreviation.

In a recent interview, Vignesh Shivan clarified that LIC asked the makers pay Rs. 112 crore to continue using the original title. The production team denied the offer and began searching for alternatives such as LIP, LIT, and LIF. They eventually settled on “Kompany” (replacing Company) because the director’s children, Uyir and Ulag, enjoyed the new pronunciation.

Nayanthara and Lalith Kumar produced the film with a substantial budget of approximately Rs. 100 crore. The project also features a soundtrack composed by the popular music director Anirudh Ravichander.
