In Telugu cinema’s first space-set adventure, Nithiin portrays a space archaeologist who discovers an alien relic on Mars that rewrites human history. The role is unique: half scientist, half explorer, with no romantic subplot. He reportedly trained with ISRO scientists for authenticity in body language and technical jargon.

Role: The Rebel Patriot Movie: Vande Mataram Actor: Pawan Kalyan 7 movie roles telugu 2025
Set against the backdrop of India’s independence movement, Pawan Kalyan plays a fiery revolutionary from the Godavari districts. Unlike his usual mass roles, this character relies on intense dialogue delivery and emotional restraint. Early rushes suggest a performance reminiscent of Agnathavasi but with more historical weight.

Sai Pallavi steps into the boots of an encounter specialist with a vigilante mindset. Unlike typical female cop roles, this character is morally grey—she plants evidence, bends rules, and operates outside the system to avenge her family. The role requires raw physicality and zero makeup, a first for a big-budget Telugu action film. Movie: Guruji Actor: Nani Role: The Rebel Patriot Movie: Vande Mataram Actor:
Nani plays a feared gangster who loses his memory after a bomb blast and wakes up believing he is a middle-class school teacher. The comedy and tragedy arise as his old henchmen try to “trigger” his memory. This double-layered role—menacing vs. mild—is being called Nani’s career-best on paper. Movie: Anthariksha Veta Actor: Nithiin
Dulquer plays a classical vocalist who loses his voice in a freak accident, only to gain the ability to “hear” past crimes through musical notes. This psychological thriller role is being compared to Mahanati in emotional depth. The character’s internal conflict—between art and trauma—could be a dark horse for national award nominations. Movie: Lady Singham Actor: Sai Pallavi
In this sci-fi sequel, Chiranjeevi reprises his role as a 500-year-old warrior guarding a mystical weapon. The character shifts between the 16th century and 2025, showcasing two distinct looks—a rugged swordsman and a sophisticated mentor. The role demands fluid motion in action sequences, proving age is just a number for the Megastar. Movie: Raaga Chadhuvu Actor: Dulquer Salmaan
