Sonakshi Sinha, marking her Telugu debut as an antagonist, exudes strength and charm. The film delves into traditions and legends, aiming to offer more than just scares.
Sonakshi Sinha shared her excitement about the project, stating, "What makes Jatadhara powerful is how it weaves the supernatural into real human emotions. The fear here isn't just external; it's something that lingers in the mind long after the story ends".
The film's narrative reflects on ambition, greed, and the persistent influence of ancient rituals. Jatadhara examines how stories and curses from the past continue to affect the present, as restless spirits and old grievances are awakened by those seeking fortune.
Iqbal and Sinha have been married since June 23, 2024, following a civil ceremony. They reportedly met at a party hosted by Salman Khan and dated for seven years before marrying.
Recently, Sinha has playfully addressed pregnancy rumors. She and Iqbal have shared humorous moments regarding the speculation, with Sinha quipping about being the "world record holder for longest pregnancy".
