Interestingly,
the
Devadas
actor
Nani,
also
hinted
that
another
video
about
Jagadeka
Veerudu
Athiloka
Sundari
will
be
released
tomorrow.
According
to
the
latest
update,
producer
Aswani
Dutt,
in
a
recent
interview,
revealed
that
he
is
currently
working
on
a
sequel
to
the
Chiranjeevi
and
Sridevi
starring
cult-classic.
The
story
will
apparently
be
about
the
offspring
of
Indraja
and
Raju,
played
by
Sridevi
and
Chiranjeevi
respectively.
When
asked
if
Ram
Charan
and
Janhvi
Kapoor
are
being
considered
for
the
film,
the
producer
admitted
that
it'll
be
wonderful
if
that
happens.
Though
he
didn't
give
any
official
confirmation
about
the
same.
The
biggest
reason
behind
the
sequel
is
the
last
scene
of
the
film,
which
shows
a
fish
swallowing
the
magical
ring.
It
indirectly
allows
space
for
a
sequel.
On
a
related
note,
Jagadeka
Veerudu
Athiloka
Sundari
was
the
biggest
hit
of
Tollywood
in
1990.
It
had
run
for
200
days
in
theatres
and
at
one
point,
it
was
one
of
the
highest-grossing
films
of
all
time.
