The actress had paired with Kamal Haasan again in Dasavatharam, and was last seen in the movie Keni. Now, the speculations are running rife that Jayapradha is all set to join BJP, and that she will contest as BJP candidate in Uttar Pradesh's Rampur constituency.

Earlier, Jayaprada had been a part of Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party and Samajwadi party. Jayaprada had become an MP by winning in Rampur on behalf of Samajwadi party, and had later exited the party to team up with Amar Singh to form a party. It has been expected that the announcement on Jayaprada joining BJP will be out in few days.
