Jatadhara is one of the most intriguing upcoming films of 2025 — a blend of mythology, supernatural horror, black magic, and ancient Indian folklore. Directed by Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal, the film brings together powerful performances from Sudheer Babu and Sonakshi Sinha, making it one of the most awaited supernatural thrillers of the year.
Story Overview (Non-Spoiler)
Jatadhara dives deep into the mysteries surrounding ancient temples, hidden vaults, cosmic forces, and the battle between good and evil. The storyline draws inspiration from the real-life mysteries of the Padmanabhaswamy Temple, especially its sealed vaults rumoured to hold divine secrets.
Sudheer Babu plays Shiva, a man chosen for a cosmic purpose. His journey takes him into a dangerous world of ancient rituals, spiritual power, and hidden truths.
