Actor Rasha Thadani, daughter of Bollywood star Raveena Tandon and film distributor Anil Thadani, is set to enter Tollywood with director Ajay Bhupathi’s upcoming film, tentatively titled “AB4”. The announcement has sparked excitement among Telugu cinema audiences, marking a significant step in the young actor’s rising career.
A promising entry into Telugu cinema
Rasha, aged 20, made her acting debut earlier this year in Abhishek Kapoor’s “Azaad”, which released in January. Her performance received attention as a strong launch in Bollywood, and her transition to South Indian cinema appears to be a carefully planned next step.
On Tuesday, Rasha took to Instagram to share the news, expressing her gratitude and enthusiasm. “New beginnings, endless gratitude… stepping into Telugu cinema,” she wrote, thanking director Ajay Bhupathi and the film’s production team for the opportunity.
Project details and cast
“AB4” will also star Jaya Krishna Ghattamaneni, who is making his acting debut as well. The film is presented by Ashwin Dutt and produced by Gemini Kiran under the Chandamama Kathalu Pictures banner. The project is backed by multiple well-known South Indian production houses, adding weight to its expectations.
Ajay Bhupathi, known for his intense storytelling in films like RX 100 and Maha Samudram, is expected to craft another emotionally driven narrative in his fourth directorial venture.
Rasha’s note of gratitude
Rasha’s post also included acknowledgements to Vyjayanthi Movies, Swapna Cinema and Anandi Art Creations, signalling a collaboration with established Telugu cinema entities. She wrote that she was “chala excited” to begin her journey, using warm Telugu expressions to connect with regional audiences.
Her message indicates that filming is likely to commence soon, with pre-production currently underway.
Upcoming projects beyond Tollywood
Apart from “AB4”, Rasha will also be seen in “Laikey Laikaa” opposite actor Abhay Verma, who gained popularity through his role in the horror-comedy Munjya. Directed by Saurabh Gupta, the film marks another important project in Rasha’s early filmography.
Her steady lineup of films suggests an early effort to build a diverse portfolio across industries, following the path of several young actors who have successfully balanced work between Bollywood and South Indian cinema.
Conclusion
With her Tollywood debut confirmed, Rasha Thadani is poised for an exciting phase in her acting career. Backed by strong production houses and guided by director Ajay Bhupathi, “AB4” is expected to broaden her reach and establish her presence in the Telugu film industry.
