Sai Durgha Tej’s Next Film with Prabhas’s Cousin Creates Buzz!

Telugu cinema is about to witness a fresh collaboration that’s already grabbing everyone’s attention. After delivering the intense thriller Sambarala Yeti Gattu Carnage, actor Sai Durgha Tej will now appear in a completely different avatar.

He is taking on a romantic drama, which becomes even more exciting with Siddharth Rajkumar, the cousin of pan-India star Prabhas, stepping in as the director. The team has tentatively titled the film Idhi Mammulu Prema Kadu, and Kamakshi Movies will produce it.

Sai Durgha Tej’s Name Change and Career Graph

In March 2024, Sai Durgha Tej made headlines by announcing that he changed his name from Sai Dharam Tej. He derived his new name as a tribute to both his parents by combining their names. Tej began his journey in Telugu cinema with the 2014 hit Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham and has taken on many versatile roles since then.

In his latest outing, Sambarala Yeti Gattu Carnage, he teamed up with Aishwarya Lekshmi under the direction of Rohith KP. The film, which Primeshow Entertainment is backing and producers K. Niranjan Reddy and Chaitanya Reddy are financing, will hit theaters on September 25, 2025. With this film, Tej has showcased his action skills. Now, fans eagerly wait to see how he will shift from an intense action hero to a charming romantic lead.

Meet Siddharth Rajkumar – Prabhas’s Cousin and Debut Director

Siddharth Rajkumar adds more weight to this upcoming project by stepping into the director’s role for the first time. Telugu cinema insiders recognize him as the cousin of Prabhas and the nephew of legendary actor Krishnam Raju. Siddharth’s mother is Prabhas’s aunt. He entered the industry as an actor with the bilingual film Keratam (also known as Josh), which remade a Kannada hit.

He also played the younger version of Mahesh Babu in the film Nani, which gave him some early visibility in Tollywood. Though he didn’t continue acting actively, he never let go of his passion for films. Now, as he turns director, he plans to present a new vision with this romantic drama.

What to Expect from Idhi Mammulu Prema Kadu

The film’s title, Idhi Mammulu Prema Kadu, hints at an extraordinary love story. Although the team hasn’t revealed the plot yet, they aim to explore deeper emotional layers and a fresh perspective on romance. The collaboration between Sai Durgha Tej and Siddharth Rajkumar promises heartfelt storytelling and visually compelling scenes.
