Tollywood director Tharun Bhascker has taken on the role of the protagonist in Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi, the official Telugu adaptation of the Mollywood blockbuster Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey (2022). The rom-com stars Eesha Rebba as the female lead.
A. R. Sajeev makes his directorial debut with this film. The teaser, unveiled today, promises a fun, breezy entertainer. Tharun Bhascker plays Ambati Omkar Naidu, who seems to run a fishery, and he marries Kondaveeti Prashanti, played by Eesha Rebba.
A comedic moment shows Tharun’s character pretending to be a huge Mumbai Indians fan despite having little knowledge about the IPL. Rohini and Brahmaji feature in key roles, and the pleasant tone of the teaser hints at an entertaining ride. The lead pair fits their roles very naturally, and Jay Krish’s background score match the teaser’s quirky vibe.
The shoot is wrapped, and the film is slated for a January 23, 2026 release. Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi is produced by Srujan Yarabolu under the S Originals banner, in association with Movie Verse Studios’ Aditya Pittie, Vivek Krishnani, Anup Chandrasekaran, Sadhik Shaik, and Naveen Sanivarapu.
