Renowned filmmaker Deva Katta, known for a distinctly serious and idea-driven body of work, is stepping into an entirely different space as he presents ‘Jo Jo’, a raw, rustic romantic comedy set against the Ultra Rural diamond fields of Jonnagiri. Written and directed by Kiran Jay Kumar, known for Mayasabha, the film promises an irreverent and unfiltered take on romance, ambition and the lengths people go to in search of a better life.
In the parched diamond fields of Jonnagiri, two penniless dreamers and a fearless young woman set their sights on one life-changing diamond, hoping that a single discovery can transform their fortunes. But their desperate hunt for wealth soon becomes anything but straightforward, drawing them into a whirlwind of romance, comic misadventures, greed, betrayal and danger. As their pursuit of the elusive diamond takes increasingly unpredictable turns, ‘Jo Jo’ unfolds as a quirky romantic comedy rooted in the eccentric characters and circumstances surrounding this unlikely treasure hunt.
The title announcement poster captures the film’s raw and earthy character through its rustic visual treatment, placing its central figure against the landscape of Jonnagiri. The makers further underline the film’s irreverent comic voice with the tongue-in-cheek warning, “హెచ్చరిక: మనోభావాల బ్యాచ్ దూరంగా ఉండండి!” — signalling a film that intends to approach its romance and comedy without the usual restraints.
‘Jo Jo’ is produced by Vijay Krishna Lingamaneni under the banner Vijayam. Kiran Jay Kumar has handled the story, screenplay, dialogues and direction, while Krishna Kamal and Maahi Sri play Seenu and Supraja, respectively. The ensemble includes Phanindra Devarapalli as Venkatesh, Prabhavathi as Vijayamma, Mahaboob Basha as Suri, Satish Devatte Tanjore as Rangasaami, Puduru Sharath Babu as Ramana and Makarand Deshpande as Mukesh Shah. The technical team comprises Rohith Kumar as Director of Photography, Mahesh Shankar as Music Director and Madhav Kumar Gullapalli as Editor, with Rehman, Srinivas Mouli and Ramachandra as lyricists.
Interestingly, Deva Katta, Kiran Jay Kumar and Vijay Krishna Lingamaneni have previously joined forces for ‘Mayasabha: Rise of the Titans’, the sensational political drama that brought their creative collaboration together. With Mayasabha, the trio created a politically charged and ambitious world; with ‘Jo Jo’, they reunite to explore a completely different tonal and genre space, making this collaboration particularly intriguing.
What makes ‘Jo Jo’ particularly intriguing is this contrast at the heart of its presentation. Deva Katta, a filmmaker associated with a very different cinematic vocabulary, is backing a film that embraces rural eccentricity, romance and unabashed comedy. The reunion of the ‘Mayasabha’ team in this unexpected genre, coupled with the distinctive diamond-hunt premise, gives ‘Jo Jo’ an immediate point of curiosity.
With its drought-hit setting, unlikely treasure hunt and characters caught between dreams of fortune and the complications that come with them, ‘Jo Jo’ sets out to deliver a romantic comedy with a distinctly raw and rustic identity. The announcement marks the beginning of the film’s promotional journey, with further details about the film and its release plans set to follow.

Film production is not merely a passion for Ram Satyanarayana. It is an obsession. That is perhaps why he has achieved the rare feat of completing more than a hundred films as a producer in a remarkably short span and is now steadily marching towards the double-century mark. Continuing this journey, the prolific producer is gearing up for yet another film.
Speaking on the occasion, Ram Satyanarayana said: “We have finalized the title ‘Moju’ for the 122nd film to be produced under our Bhimavaram Talkies banner. The inspiration for this film came from Ram Gopal Varma. When I recently met him in Mumbai, he suggested that I make a film along the lines of The Obsession, which is creating a sensation worldwide.
The film, reportedly made on a budget of just around 6 crore and having grossed over 4,000 crore in Indian currency, inspired us to explore a similar concept for a Pan-India film. Story discussions are almost complete, and we will announce all the details soon.”
With an unconventional title and an equally intriguing inspiration, ‘Moju’ is already creating curiosity about what Ram Satyanarayana has in store for his 122nd production!!

“I read books on Buddhism and learned about black magic for Agadha” – Kamakshi Bhaskarla
“I was happy that a senior producer like Shyam Prasad Reddy compared me with Anushka” – Kamakshi Bhaskarla
Everyone is familiar with Kamakshi Bhaskarla’s choice of films and stories, as well as the success she has been achieving. Known for taking up content-driven projects, Kamakshi Bhaskarla is now gearing up for the release of Agadha, which is set to hit the screens tomorrow (August 14). The film is produced by Kashi Visalakshi Balusu under the Sri Adi Varaha Productions banner, presented by Ajay KR, and directed by M.S. Raju. Alongside Kamakshi Bhaskarla, the film features Shravan Reddy, Ulka Gupta, Jovika Vijaykumar, Bhanu Chander, Shiju, Vanitha Vijayakumar, Roshan Basheer, Shreya Rani Reddy, Viva Raghava, Robert Master, Arna Muller and Kanakavva in key roles. Ahead of the film’s release on Friday, Kamakshi Bhaskarla interacted with the media. Here are some highlights from her conversation.
Shyam Prasad Reddy compared you with Anushka. How do you feel about it? I felt very happy that such a senior producer compared me with Anushka. Being compared to Anushka garu by someone like him makes me feel even more responsible (laughs).
Tell us about the costumes in Agadha. Everything in Agadha can be attributed to Raju garu’s vision. He wanted everything to look different from the very beginning. I initially found it a little difficult to carry myself in that kind of saree.
Tell us about the action sequences in Agadha. We conducted workshops and rehearsals well in advance for the action sequences in Agadha. Of course, minor difficulties on set are natural. But the entire team worked together very hard, and that helped us achieve a great output.
What were the challenges you faced during your journey with Agadha? It took me some time to transform myself for the role of Mahadevi. I had to put Kamakshi aside and even set aside my own principles to completely adapt myself to the character, and that was challenging. Mahadevi is a character that is born out of divine grace. I read books on Buddhism and learned about black magic. I studied every mudra and understood the character’s mannerisms and behaviour before portraying her. I took great care to ensure that Kamakshi should not be visible anywhere in the film.
How did you feel when you received a call from M.S. Raju garu? I really like M.S. Raju garu’s films. Among his movies, Manasantha Nuvve is an all-time favourite of mine. So, when he called me for Agadha, I was extremely happy. He told me that he had watched my film Polimera. Every artist in his films comes across as very powerful, and I really admire that quality.
You became emotional while recalling your nine-year journey when talking about female-centric films. Why did you get so emotional? When a male actor does a film, we don’t call it a male-centric film. But when a female actor does one, it is immediately labelled a female-centric film. Women at home handle multiple responsibilities and multitask all the time. I used to wonder why female characters on screen shouldn’t also be independent. Since 2019, I have been waiting for the right opportunity. I gave countless auditions even for small roles. I worked extremely hard to get opportunities in films. Even today, I don’t own a car. I still come on my bike. Now people recognise me on the roads and even follow me (laughs). Even the vehicles provided by the production team feel new to me. We come from a middle-class family, so owning a car is a big thing for us (laughs).
Can you tell us about some of the bitter experiences you faced during this journey? There were instances where people openly said, “She acted alongside Satyam Rajesh? Then no, we don’t want her.” People here even judge you based on whom you have acted alongside. I think that is completely wrong.
Do you consider films like Polimera and Agadha coming your way a plus or a minus? Even if the genres are repeated, the characters I play are always different. I want to establish the confidence that Kamakshi can carry a film on her shoulders and take it forward. We do some films for money, while we do others for our own satisfaction. I don’t look at opportunities as small or big. I choose roles based on whether I like the character. I have already signed my next film, which is a love story. I want to break the perception that I am suited only for films like Polimera and Agadha.
Why aren’t you choosing glamorous roles? I don’t like playing the same kind of roles repeatedly. More importantly, I want to portray characters that represent the women in our homes. When my family members watch me on screen, I want them to feel, “Hey, she looks just like me.” As a Telugu girl, if I don’t represent Telugu women on screen, then who will? That is why I prefer portraying ordinary women rather than glamorous or queen-like characters.
What aspects of Agadha made you accept the film? When Raju garu called me, I immediately understood that the film must have a new concept and an important role. And since it was Raju garu, I immediately said yes. Once he narrated the story of Agadha and explained my character, I liked it even more. I never worry about success or failure. I enjoy the process. I also accepted the film because I wanted the experience of working with Raju garu.
Tell us about the horror and thrilling moments in Agadha. There aren’t too many outright horror moments in Agadha. It is more of a thrilling experience. There are several divine moments in the film. By the end, everyone will be left with a divine feeling.
What can you say about the other artistes? Everyone on our set was a wonderful artiste, and all of them have tremendous experience. It was a pleasure working with Bhanu Chander garu, Shiju garu and everyone else. I learned something new every day on the sets.
Tell us about the technical team.
Nani Chamidisetty garu’s camera work has come out wonderfully. He experimented with several things for this movie and brought Raju garu’s vision to life. The DI work is also fantastic. Rajeev garu’s art work, the sets he designed and the Goddess idol look magical on screen. No matter how much I say about the RR, it won’t be enough. Some scenes have gone to the next level because of the background score.
Have you put your medical profession on hold? Yes, I have taken a break from it for now. I want to be here in the film industry rather than being there. I want to represent ordinary women like me and bring their stories and lives to the screen.
Do you have plans to direct in the future? I have worked as an assistant director, associate director and also as part of writing teams. I do have an interest in directing. But not right now. It will take quite some time before I take that step.
How confident are you about the success of Agadha? I strongly believe that Agadha will definitely be successful. For Raju garu, and especially for his comeback, I want this film to become a blockbuster hit. I have already watched the film, and I was surprised by several scenes. A scene that felt normal on the sets looked absolutely amazing on screen. I was in tears during several portions of the film. Personally, I felt extremely happy after watching the movie.
