Is Naga Chaitanya The New Torchbearer Of Mythological Cinema In The Akkineni Legacy?

As Telugu cinema witnesses a renewed interest in mythological storytelling, speculation is rife that actor Naga Chaitanya may be stepping into a space deeply rooted in his family’s cinematic heritage, following in the footsteps of his grandfather ANR and father Nagarjuna? While #NC24 is rumored to have mythological elements, speculation suggests he might headline another major mythological film. This potential project, rumored to be close to his heart, could reflect his spiritual beliefs and offer a platform to express them through his craft.

The Akkineni lineage has a rich history with mythological cinema. ANR famously portrayed figures like Rama and Krishna in classics such as Sri Krishnarjuna Yuddam and Sri Rama Rajyam, also bringing saints like Tukaram and Ramadasu to life. Nagarjuna continued this legacy with acclaimed devotional biopics like Annamayya (as the composer-saint) and Om Namo Venkatesaya (as Hathiram Bhavaji), and also starred in Sri Ramadasu and Shirdi Sai. His appearance as Lord Shiva in Jagadguru Adi Sankara further cemented his engagement with spiritual themes.

With #NC24 and this potential new mythological venture, Naga Chaitanya seems poised to not only uphold his family’s cinematic heritage but also forge his own path, bringing his spiritual sensibilities to Telugu cinema. Audiences eagerly await his interpretation of these faith-based narratives, anticipating a new chapter in the Akkineni family’s enduring contribution to mythological storytelling.

If you haven’t heard her name her name is set to sound louder sooner than later. Well, meet the gorgeous and amazingly talented actress Radhika Choudhary who hasn’t just been parachuted on Bollywood landscape but has come a long way from a small village in Haryana to Mumbai, the ultimate city of dreams!

So how has been the journey so far for the pretty Radhika? “Every journey with a mission is a challenge. It’s upto you how you take the path with proper planning and intelligent strategy,” said Radhika aa a matter of fact as she continued, “I came to Jaipur for my graduation. There while studying I joined different classes to improve my skills like dancing, theatre, swimming, communication enhancement, personality development et al. Since my childhood I always wanted to do something in fashion industry which had fascinated me. As I was growing up I didn’t know how to pursue my Bollywood dream. One of my mentors told me about beauty pageants. I started my preparation for that and after all my hard work I was declared the fifth runner-up of Elite Miss Rajasthan.”

How did Radhika come to Mumbai? “See, my modelling career was good in Jaipur. I was getting regular work there. But when we talk about acting projects Jaipur was not the place. So I left for Mumbai for acting workshop and work. And I always wanted to come to Mumbai and live here beacuse Mumbai is a wonderful city and  gives me motivation,” said Radhika thoughtfully.

How has been the journey as a small-town girl in Jaipur to Mumbai? “My journey was quite tough as I belonged to to a non-filmi background. In my family all are doctors and teachers. And I had to convince my parents. Fortunately, they are very understanding,” said a charming Radhika.

“Though you face rejections and come across some wrong people, I always have faith in me, my God and  my hard work. I worked really hard for it and I’m confident I’ll soon sign my first movie,” told Radhika with high optimism.

Professionally, what has Radhika done so far? “I do regular commercial shoots, big brands shoot and I also did three music album songs,” informed Radhika.

And what’s Radhika’s strategy to overcome the competion as there are lots of newcomers trying their luck in the film industry? “To be fair, everybody has their own strategy, struggle and luck. I’m not here to compete with anyone,” said Radhika plainly.

You were curious to know who’s Radhika’s idol in Bollywood and why? “I admire Deepika Padukone. She is my favourite actress. Whenever I see her on big-screen I feel the positivity and hardwork,” said Radhika with an infectious smile.

Regarding her hobbies and how she relaxes, Radhika lists painting, writing, swimming and shopping.

“I do meditation and I watch Korean dramas which make me feel super relaxed and happy,” said the beautiful Radhika as she signed off with her trademark smile.

Neeraj Singh’s Upcoming Short Film To Expose The Dark Reality Of Female Khatna In Muslim Communities

In a chilling exposé of a deeply entrenched practice within certain Muslim communities, filmmaker and writer Neeraj Singh is set to release a short film ” The Female Khatna” that sheds light on the harrowing reality of female circumcision, also known as Khatna. This controversial practice, which involves the cutting of the private parts of young girls aged 9-10, is a stark reminder of the physical and mental anguish endured by countless women even today.

While many are aware of the male circumcision tradition within Muslim society, few realize that a similar ritual is inflicted upon young girls in certain communities. This practice is not only a violation of the body but also leaves deep psychological scars that persist throughout a woman’s life. Despite legal prohibitions and social condemnation, the practice continues in secrecy, upheld by religious leaders and community pressure.

Neeraj Singh, known for his bold storytelling and willingness to tackle sensitive issues, has spent extensive time researching the topic. He uncovered that the practice of female circumcision is particularly prevalent among the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim community. In this community, the ritual, referred to as Khafz, involves the removal of the clitoral hood and, in some cases, the entire external genitalia. The procedure is often carried out without anesthesia, leading to severe pain, trauma, and lifelong complications.

During his research, Neeraj spoke to numerous women who had undergone Khatna. These women, now in their 30s and 40s, shared their painful experiences with him, recounting the lasting impact on their physical and mental health. Many described how they continue to suffer during sexual intercourse, enduring the pain inflicted upon them in childhood. The stigma associated with not being circumcised further exacerbates their suffering, as uncircumcised women are often shunned within their communities and face difficulties in finding marriage partners.

Neeraj revealed that these women confided in him under the condition of anonymity, fearing retribution from their communities. They spoke of the immense social pressure to conform to this practice, with circumcised women being regarded as pure and virtuous, while those who escape the ritual are ostracized and deemed unworthy.

While the practice of female circumcision is not widespread across India, it continues to thrive in pockets of certain Muslim communities, particularly among the Dawoodi Bohra. Despite growing awareness and efforts to curb the practice, it remains deeply rooted in tradition and religious belief, perpetuated by those who claim it is a necessary rite of passage.

Neeraj Singh’s short film aims to bring this hidden reality to the forefront, challenging societal norms and sparking conversations about the rights and dignity of women. The film, which is being produced for the International Film Festival circuit, will also be released on several major OTT platforms, ensuring it reaches a global audience.

In speaking about the project, Neeraj emphasized the importance of exposing the truth and giving a voice to the voiceless. “This is not just a film; it’s a statement against a barbaric practice that has no place in modern society. These women have suffered in silence for too long, and it’s time the world hears their stories,” he said.

By bringing this issue to the screen, Neeraj hopes to inspire change and encourage communities to abandon harmful traditions that violate human rights. His film is not just a condemnation of female circumcision, but also a call to action for society to protect the most vulnerable members—young girls who deserve to grow up free from fear and pain.

As the film prepares for its international debut, it is poised to make a significant impact on audiences and ignite a much-needed dialogue on the subject. Neeraj Singh’s courage in tackling such a sensitive and controversial issue is commendable, and his work is a powerful reminder of the role of art in challenging societal injustices and advocating for change.
