Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha is making her Telugu debut with the film Jatadhara. Fans are excited because her powerful first-look poster was released on March 8, 2025, to celebrate International Women’s Day.
The real excitement is happening in Mount Abu, Rajasthan, where the Jatadhara team is filming in a special jungle set. This location is not just a background—it’s a key part of the film’s adventure.
Why Did They Choose Mount Abu?
The team picked Mount Abu because it’s different from the usual desert look of Rajasthan. Mount Abu is a cool hill station with thick forests, perfect for a thrilling jungle setup. The Jatadhara team built a detailed jungle set at Maukaa Studios, a popular filming spot.
According to reports, the film will include exciting fight scenes in the jungle. Producer Prerna Arora said these scenes will feature action-packed moments like Sudheer Babu dodging traps and Sonakshi Sinha battling supernatural enemies. The natural surroundings make everything feel real and intense.

Why Mount Abu is Special for Filming
Rajasthan is known for its forts and palaces seen in popular movies like Padmaavat. But Mount Abu is different because of its green forests. The jungle set at Maukaa Studios fits the film’s mystical theme, which is inspired by Lord Shiva’s matted hair, known as Jatadhara. Actor Sudheer Babu described the film as an “edge-of-the-seat” experience in an interview.
Another reason for choosing this location is that natural settings reduce the need for computer effects (CGI), which saves energy. Films like Kantara did this and became a big success. Jatadhara may follow the same path.
Who’s in the Film?
This film is not just about the location—it’s about the amazing team as well. Sonakshi Sinha is stepping into Tollywood with a strong, warrior-like role. Her husband, Zaheer Iqbal, cheered her on Instagram, calling her “fire.” Actress Huma Qureshi praised Sonakshi, calling her “rowdy.” Actor Sudheer Babu is set to perform thrilling action scenes, similar to those in Rambo.

What’s Next for Jatadhara?
The Mount Abu shoot makes Jatadhara different from other films. With Sonakshi Sinha and Sudheer Babu in key roles, this movie combines mythology with action in a natural setting. If the jungle scenes turn out as exciting as planned, this film could be Tollywood’s next big hit.
