His new avatar features him wearing a lungi and carrying a machete. Loaded with action and drama, its standout point was the dialogue where he declares why the name "Rowdy" belongs to him.
Taking the title announcement to Instagram, Deverakonda captioned the post, "The Biography of a Wounded man. in 1 year. RowdyJanardhana December 2026."
Ravi Kiran Kola's Rowdy Janardhana stars Keerthy Suresh as the female lead, and it is his second project with Vijay Deverakonda. They also collaborated for Mahanati, which was released in 2018. Rowdy Janardhana will release in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam in December 2026.
