Budding actress Jovika Vijay Kumar will be playing a crucial role in MS Raju's Agadha. This is going to be the acting debut of the daughter of Vanitha Vijay Kumar. She plays an assertive woman named Harini in the 2026 release.
Raju is happy to be introducing Jovika with his mystical divine thriller. Incidentally, back in 1999, Jovika's mother made her acting debut with the fantasy drama, Devi, an ambitious venture produced by Raju himself. Devi, headlined by Victory Venkatesh, told the story of a snake goddess who makes a sacrifice to save her adopted family. Nearly three decades later, the actress' daughter is working with Raju. Jovika's grandmom, Manjula, was a Telugu-Tamil actress.
Jovika's poster has a pronounced mysterious tone to it. Her gaze is a contradiction; it sparkles with a childlike innocence yet anchored by a hidden strength that suggests she is the very pulse of the story’s mystical core.
Other characters in the movie include Kamakshi Bhaskarla's Mahadevi (the protagonist), Shravan Reddy's Simha, and Ulka Gupta's Mahima.
Agadha was shot for 85 working days in all. Its post-production works are being fast wrapped up. The tech-laden movie will feature VFX shots for a run-time of 45 minutes. Producer Kasi Visalakshi Balusu is elated that MS Raju's re-entry as a director is being well-received by everyone. Sri Adi Varaha Productions will leave no stone unturned in mounting Agadha on the scale it deserves. Chaitanya Vegi is contributing to the project’s additional screenplay. The visual and auditory output is crafted by cinematographer Nani Chamidishetty and composer Rakesh Venkatapuram, respectively. Junaid Siddiqui is handling the editing. Agadha will be released in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi.
