For more than two years, two actresses, known for their popularity in other languages, have been eagerly awaiting the release of their Telugu debut projects. They are Sapthami Gowda and Malavika Mohanan.
Sapthami Gowda
Sapthami Gowda, a popular Kannada actress, shot to fame with the blockbuster Kantara. Soon after its release in 2022, she signed her first Telugu film opposite Nithiin. The film, titled Thammudu, has been delayed. It was initially planned for release last year but faced multiple postponements. It is now slated to release on July 4, 2025.

It’s taking Sapthami nearly three years to see her first Telugu film hit theaters after signing the project.
Malavika Mohanan
Malavika Mohanan is one of the more popular female stars. In 2021, Malavika Mohanan signed her first Telugu film opposite Vijay Deverakonda, only to have it shelved. She later appeared in Tamil films like Master, Maaran, and Thangalaan.
In 2022, she signed Prabhas’s “The Raja Saab” and has been waiting for it to wrap up and make it to theaters. But the Maruthi-directed film has faced several hurdles and is yet to complete its shoot.
