Chaitanya Rao, best known for his role in Mayasabha, is set to surprise audiences with a negative role in Anushka Shetty’s upcoming action drama Ghaati.
Speaking about his experience, Chaitanya shared that working alongside Anushka was truly inspiring. He revealed that Anushka delivered stunning performances in the high-octane action sequences and left everyone impressed.
The young actor also recalled a special moment when Anushka personally called him after a shoot and praised his talent, saying, “You are a very good actor and will go a long way in your career.”
Chaitanya says this encouragement will remain one of the most unforgettable highlights of his career. Ghaati hits the screens on September 5, 2025.
Guna Sekhar’s Rudramadevi, headlined by Anushka Shetty, became a commercial success at the box office. The biographical film based on the life of Kakatiya Queen Rudramadevi benefitted largely from the presence of Icon Star Allu Arjun. But did you know that Allu Arjun was not the first choice for Gona Ganna Reddy role?
During the promotions of Ghaati, Kollywood actor Vikram Prabhu revealed that he was initially approached for the character of Gona Ganna Reddy. However, Vikram Prabhu missed the opportunity (reason not specified), and the role eventually went to Allu Arjun, who killed it with his solid portrayal.
Vikram Prabhu also heaped praise on Allu Arjun’s performance and expressed regret over missing the chance to share screen space with Anushka back then. Finally, the actor got the opportunity to appear alongside Anushka Shetty in Ghaati which releases on September 5.
