Chronicling the Life of an Egalitarian Saint: Grand Trailer of Spiritual Drama ‘Jayaho Ramanuja’ Launched Ahead of October 24 Release
Bringing the inspiring life story and transformative philosophy of 11th-century philosopher-reformer Sri Ramanujacharya to the silver screen, the devotional biographical feature ‘Jayaho Ramanuja’ held its grand theatrical trailer launch event in Hyderabad. Helmed by veteran filmmaker and lead actor Lion Dr. Sai Venkat, the period devotional project is bankrolled by Sai Prasanna and Pravallika under the Sudarsanam Productions banner.
The film features American-Indian actress Jo Sharma as the female lead, alongside veteran actor Suman and producer-actress Pravallika in substantial characters. Marking the occasion, the makers reaffirmed that the film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on October 24, 2026.
"An Effort to Present Sacred Heritage to Today's Generation" — Lion Dr. Sai Venkat
Reflecting on his quarter-century journey in the Telugu film industry and the inspiration behind this ambitious venture, director-actor Lion Dr. Sai Venkat shared:
"I have spent 25 fruitful years in this industry. Suman garu was the leading hero in my very first project, and his dedication to the craft remains just as inspiring today. He has essayed a pivotal character in this film with dignity.
Jayaho Ramanuja is not a commercial venture crafted for box-office profits. It is a labor of deep devotion and responsibility to bring the extraordinary life and social reforms of Ramanujacharya to the younger generation. Great stories driven by noble themes always find a place in audiences' hearts. We have mounted the film with high technical values, and we look forward to presenting it to everyone on October 24."
"A Vision of Equality Across Castes and Faiths" — Actor Suman
Speaking at the launch, veteran star Suman emphasized the timeless social relevance of the spiritual thinker:
"When Sai Venkat garu first discussed this script, I told him that mounting a historical subject on Ramanujacharya would be an immensely daunting task. But his passion and unwavering determination saw it through. I felt truly blessed to portray a meaningful role in this film.
Our country is home to diverse faiths, castes, and communities living under one sky. Ramanujacharya was the pioneer who first broke rigid social barriers, preaching that all souls are equal in the eyes of the divine. His timeless message that 'we are all one' continues to hold profound value today. I urge families to watch this film together in theatres and celebrate his immortal ideals."
Pravallika on Balancing Production and Key Roles
Producer and actress Pravallika expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to back and perform in the devotional drama:
"It is an honor to step into production with a revered subject like Jayaho Ramanuja, and I owe this milestone to my father's guidance. Beyond executive responsibilities, I also had the fortune of portraying divine avatars including Lord Krishna, Narada, and Raghunatha Swamy. The teachings and resilience of Ramanujacharya hold lessons that every modern youth must discover."
With its visually rich depiction of ancient temple traditions, devotional fervor, and classical music, ‘Jayaho Ramanuja’ aims to deliver an emotionally enriching spiritual cinematic experience when it arrives in cinemas worldwide on October 24, 2026.
