Rajani Talluri
Rajani Talluri—seriously, if you haven’t heard the name yet, you’re probably not paying much attention to contemporary Telugu cinema. She’s got this knack for picking projects that stand out. Think about Disco Raja (2020): a wild mash-up of sci-fi, stylish action, and a retro vibe that somehow just clicks. The film spins around a guy who wakes up after being frozen for ages (yeah, like Captain America but with more swagger), only to realize his past is even messier than his bedhead. Rajani’s touch, whether on screen or behind the scenes, brings a certain unpredictable energy—like, you never really know what’s coming next, but you know it’s gonna be entertaining.
Jump to Vasantha Mullai (2023), and the mood shifts. This one’s more of a psychological thriller, where reality feels like it’s just out of reach. The story blurs lines between dreams and waking life, keeping you guessing—are the characters losing their minds, or is something truly uncanny happening? Rajani doesn’t shy away from complex roles or stories that mess with your head. She leans in, actually.
And now, Matka (2024) is in the mix. Details are hush-hush, but if her track record is any clue, we’re in for another wild ride. Rajani really isn’t about playing it safe, and that’s probably why folks keep watching. Every project’s got its own flavor, and she dives in, headfirst—no hesitation, just pure commitment. That’s what makes her such a force in the industry right now.
