What happens

Jatadhara (lit. 'Lord Shiva') is a 2025 Indian horror action comedy film written and directed by Venkat Kalyan and Abhishek Jaiswal. Produced by Zee Studios in association with Umesh KR Bansal, Rajiv Agarwal, Shivin Narang, and Nikhil Nanda, the film was shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi. It stars Sudheer Babu as Shiva, alongside Sonakshi Sinha in her Telugu debut as the antagonist Dhanapisachini, and Divya Khosla Kumar as Sitara. The film draws inspiration from myths and conspiracy theories surrounding the Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala, particularly the mystery of its sealed vaults. It explores themes of greed, sacrifice, and spiritual awakening through a fictional narrative set against the backdrop of ancient rituals and divine forces. Jatadhara was released theatrically on 7 November 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
