A Telugu Name in English World

Telugu has been facing lot of problems with many youth not interested in speaking the language even though it is their mother tongue. In such times, even many Telugu film titles are trying to attract the audience with heavy English influence and breaking that the filmmakers are coming up with Vintage words in their titles and let’s look at those titles and films now.

Jaya Janaki NayakaJanaki Nayaka is another name of Lord Sri Rama and such a name for an action entertainer directed by Boyapati Srinu is a complete surprise for all of us. In the movie, Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas is acting with Vani Vishwanath, Sarath Kumar and Rakul Preet Singh.

Jai Lava KusaAs we just talked about their father, the sons of the greatest King too are here to make their presence felt. Lava Kusa is one of the biggest mythological movies featuring Anjali Devi and NTR in complete colour production for the first time in Telugu Cinema. Now, the same title is used by Jr. NTR for his social drama that has some elements from Ramayana. Jai Lava Kusa will be releasing in September and such a vintage title for a Star Hero film is a refreshing change these days.
