Rasha Thadani is making waves in Telugu cinema before her debut film hits screens, with the newly released song Gunde Pelipothondhe from Srinivasa Mangapuram already drawing attention.

The track has become a talking point among fans, and according to reports, Rasha performed the entire song barefoot. The choice was not for dramatic effect but to honor the classical traditions of Bharatanatyam, one of India's oldest dance forms. Going shoeless during classical Indian dance is a mark of respect for the art form and its cultural roots.

The visuals blend Bharatanatyam movements with cinematic storytelling, offering a first glimpse of her character and screen presence. Co-starring Jayakrishna Ghattamaneni, this romantic drama has been building anticipation. The song benefits from its melodic composition, choreography, and emotionally driven lyrics. Director Ajay Bhupathi directs, and the music—composed by National Award winner GV Prakash Kumar—shapes the visuals.

The supporting cast includes Mohan Babu, Naresh, and Brahmaji, with producer Ashwini Dutt presenting the project under Chandamama Kathalu Pictures.

With Gunde Pelipothondhe circulating on social media, Srinivasa Mangapuram is positioning itself as a closely watched regional release. The film drops next month.
